Objective
To assess the effect of lymph node dissection (LND), number of removed nodes (NRN), and number of positive nodes (NPN), on cancer‐specific mortality (CSM) in contemporary vs historical patients with pT2–3NanyM0 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated with radical nephrectomy (RN).

Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2001–2013), we identified...
What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?A recent population‐based analysis suggested a potential survival benefit with respect to performing lymph node dissection at nephrectomy in node‐positive patients with RCC.The findings of the present study failed to corroborate the association of a survival benefit with the performance of lymph node dissection at nephrectomy.
