Grabbert M, et al. - The influence of pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLND) on survival rates and complication rates in a selected group of elderly patients with a minimum age of 80 years, was inspected. Experts suggested the incapability of this study to demonstrate a significant independent influence of PLND on cancer specific survival (CSS), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in octogenarians undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) due to UCB. As per the results, RC without PLND could be an option in selected cases of elderly patients. However, there was no doubt that RC should usually be combined with PLND.
