However, no final consensus about its optimal extent has been reached.METHODS: We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the effect of the extent of LND on 5-year recurrence-free survival and its complication rates in patients undergoing RC. A systematic search of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE has been performed. All studies published until June 2013 and providing information on 5-year recurrence-free survival were included in the analysis.RESULTS: We analyzed the recurrence-free survival data of 11 studies on standard or extended LND or both in patients undergoing RC. The extended (above the bifurcation of iliac vessels) LND showed a significant trend toward a higher proportion of lymph node-positive patients (odds ratio = 1.39; 95% CI: 0.96-2.00; P = 0.08). Including all studies that compare extended with standard LND, the overall odds ratio for the 5-year recurrence-free survival is 1.63 (95% CI: 1.28-2.07, P<0.001), showing a strong and statistical significant survival benefit for the group of patients who underwent extended LND. Moreover, the weighted average 5-year recurrence-free survival rate of all existing studies on standard LND is significantly different from the ones reporting extended LND rates.
