Abstract
The accuracy of conventional imaging techniques for detection of pathologic lymph node-positive disease before radical cystectomy for bladder cancer is suboptimal. The presence of clinical lymph node positivity on preoperative imaging is not an independent predictor of oncologic outcomes, and if the node invasion is not confirmed at radical cystectomy, these patients may have good long-term outcomes.
