Clinically lymph node-positive urothelial bladder cancer treated with upfront radical cystectomy: Diagnostic accuracy of MRI and long-term oncologic outcomes
Despite its potential in preoperative assessment of muscle-invasive UBC, MRI showed limited sensitivity for detecting node-positive disease. Notably, in patients with MRI-detected cN<sup>+</sup> UBC, those who underwent upfront RC demonstrated long-term survival outcomes comparable to those treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by consolidative cystectomy in previously published studies.
