Extent of lymph node dissection improves overall survival in pT3N0 non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients treated with radical nephrectomy: a propensity score-based analysis

ConclusionsMore extensive LND (NRN  ≥ 2) at RN is associated with better OS in pT3N0M0 RCC patients while it exerts negative influence on CCS in pT1N0M0 group. Hence, more extensive LND has therapeutic value in pT3 individuals but not in pT1 group.
