Editorial Comment from Dr Gondo to Reporting trends and prognostic significance of lymphovascular invasion in muscle‐invasive urothelial carcinoma: A population‐based study

Abstract: In this issue of the International Journal of Urology, Berman et al. evaluate trends in the reporting of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) status in radical cystectomy (RC) specimens during a period of 14 years, using a large-scale population-based cohort in the Canadian province of Ontario. 1 The authors found that the rate of LVI reporting increased during the study period. In addition, LVI was found to be an independent predictor of cancer-specific and overall survival, independent of other prognostic factors, … Show more

“…We are grateful to Professors Tsuzuki and Gondo for sharing their thoughts on our work, along with their visions for how pathological findings might guide treatment for bladder cancer patients in the near future. Both professors recognized the two novel areas of inquiry addressed in our population‐based study – factors associated with whether or not pathologists in routine practice report lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in cystectomy specimens, and the prognostic significance of LVI in routine practice as it applies to patients with muscle‐invasive urothelial carcinoma.…”
