Abstract:ObjectiveTo assess the diagnostic performance of 18F‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐d‐glucose (18F‐FDG) positron emission tomograpy (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in nodal staging before radical cystectomy (RC) and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) for bladder cancer (BCa).Materials and MethodsThis analysis was based on a cohort of 199 BCa patients undergoing RC and bilateral PLND between 2015 and 2022. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) or immunotherapy (NAI) was administered after oncological evaluation. All patients received… Show more
