Lymph Node Density Is Superior to TNM Nodal Status in Predicting Disease-Specific Survival After Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer: Analysis of Pooled Data From MDACC and MSKCC
Purpose To compare the utility of lymph node density (LND) with TNM nodal status in predicting disease-specific survival (DSS) after radical cystectomy. Patients and Methods We identified 248 patients with nodal metastasis after radical cystectomy (without neoadjuvant chemotherapy): 162 patients from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and 86 patients from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center…
