Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The prognosis of bladder cancer patients with positive lymph node (LN) disease is affected by both the extent of lymphadenectomy and LN density retrieved during radical cystectomy. This study aimed at assessing the differences in LN metastasis between patients who presented primarily with muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder "

METHODS: Data were prospectively collected from consecutive 41 radical cystectomies that were divided into two groups: Group I included

RESULTS: The median age was 60 years (44-75). Thirty-four patients exhibited

CONCLUSION: Although non-muscle-invasive urothelial bladder tumor may progress to muscle-invasive disease, it still carries less aggressive course than

Keywords: Bladder cancer; lymph node density; non-muscle-invasive bladder tumor; progressive muscle-invasive bladder tumor
