- Abstract:
- Lymph node invasion (LNI) is a known adverse prognostic factor in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), yet its relevance in the era of modern systemic therapies remains unclear. This dissertation investigates the prognostic significance of both pathological and radiographic LNI in contemporary mRCC patients. The work is based on three population-based studies conducted during a research fellowship at the Cancer Prognostics and Health Outcomes Unit in Montreal, Canada, utilizing the SEER database.
