Purpose To assess the effect of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) extent on cancer‐
specific mortality (CSM) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients without lymph node invasion (LNI) …

Aim To determine the impact of the extent of lymph node invasion (LNI) on long-term
oncological outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP). Material and methods In this …

Background The role of extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) in treating prostate
cancer (PCa) patients with lymph node invasion (LNI) remains controversial. Objective The …

Background: The therapeutic effect of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) during radical
prostatectomy (RP) due to prostate cancer (PCa) is still under debate. We aimed at …

Background We hypothesized that a cut-off in positive lymph node (LN) counts may
discriminate between cancer-specific mortality (CSM) rates in clinically localized prostate …

OBJECTIVE We tested relationship between pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) status at
the time of radical prostatectomy (RP) and survival in prostate cancer (PCa) patients …

Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) represents the gold standard for nodal staging in PCa
and is recommended for patients with a probability of lymph node invasion (LNI)> 5 …

Study Type–Prognostic (case series) Level of Evidence 4 What's known on the subject? and
What does the study add? Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) at radical prostatectomy is …

Background We hypothesized that lymph node dissection (LND) at salvage radical
prostatectomy may be associated with lower cancer‐specific mortality (CSM) and we tested …

Historically, patients with high risk prostate cancer were considered poor candidates for
radical prostatectomy (RP) due to the likelihood of positive pelvic lymph nodes and …
