Bastian, Marieta Toma, Wolf F.

2 Fig. 1 Extranodal extension of urothelial carcinoma (haematoxylin and eosin, ×100). Note the clear invasion of the tumour cells (asterisks) in the perinodal tissue with adipocytes (arrowheads) and large blood vessels (arrow).

3 Fig. 2 Perinodal lymphovascular invasion with tumour cells (arrow) within a lymphatic vessel with clearly visible endothelial lining (arrowheads); note the focal adherence to the endothelial cells (asterisks) (haematoxylin and eosin, ×200).

4 Fig. 3 Cancer-specific survival in 158 lymph node–positive patients after radical cystectomy for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, stratified by absence or presence of perinodal lymphovascular invasion. pnLVI=perinodal lymphovascular invasion.

5 Fig. 4 Cancer-specific survival in 158 lymph node–positive patients after radical cystectomy for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, stratified by absence or presence of perinodal lymphovascular invasion (pnLVI) in combination with pT category. Low risk: pnLVI absent and ≤pT2; intermediate risk: pnLVI present or ≥pT3; high risk: pnLVI present and ≥pT3. LR=low risk; IR=intermediate risk; HR=high risk.
