Predictors of adequate lymph node dissection in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy and effect on survival.

Treatment at an academic facility was associated with increased likelihood of adequate LND. Initiatives to improve adequate LND in this population may be warranted.
