Role of lymphadenectomy during primary surgery for kidney cancer

Abstract: Purpose of reviewLymph node dissection (LND) during radical nephrectomy (RN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is not considered as a standard. The emergence of robot-assisted surgery and effective immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in recent years may change this and lymph node (LN) staging has become easier and has a clinical impact. In this review, we aimed to reconsider the role of LND today. Recent findingsAlthough the extent of LND has still not been well established, removal of more LN seems to provide bet… Show more

“…The role of LND in enhancing survival for RCC patients with and without nodal involvement remains undetermined [9]. Our study contributes to this discussion by elucidating the differential bene ts of LND in RNRP versus RNPU [21]. The impact of surgical waiting times on patient mortality is also an area of interest, with some studies indicating an increased risk of death [22].…”
