Background: Pathologic evidence of pelvic lymph node involvement is obtained in 12%-20%
of patients with localized prostate cancer that exhibits high-risk features (defined on the …

Pelvic lymph node metastases indicate a poor prognosis for patients with clinically localized
prostate cancer but the significance of minimal nodal metastases still is debated. We …

Pelvic lymph node (LN) metastasis is a well-recognized route of prostate cancer spread.
However, the relationship between topography and the pathologic features of primary …

Histologic features of the primary tumor and their effects on the incidence of unsuspected
pelvic lymph node metastases have been studied in a prospective series of 62 patients with …
