CCI had low sensitivity in detecting UTUC pN + disease. However, cN + increased the likelihood of pN + by almost three-fold. Thus, CCI is a rule-in but not a rule-out test. LND should remain the standard during extirpative UTUC surgery to obtain accurate N-staging. cN + could be a strong argument for early systemic treatment.
