Abstract: Nowadays, most of renal cancers are incidental tumors less than 4 cm. Prevalence of lymph node involvement is low and does not require a systematic lymphadenectomy as described by Robson in the 1960s. Radiologic progress and particularly CT scan describe with high precision lymph node involvement in the initial work-up. In renal cancer with a high risk of recurrence, lymphadenectomy has a pronostic interest and therapeutic role in rare situations where lymph node involvement is isolated. In metastatic patients, the role of cytoreductive nephrectomy has to be assessed.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)
