Context Optimal management of prostate cancer (PCa) patients with lymph node invasion at
radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection still remains unclear. Objective To …

Simple Summary pN1 after RP with PLND represents one of the most unfavorable
prognostic factors for disease recurrence and cancer-specific mortality in prostate cancer …

Background The patterns of recurrence of patients with node-positive prostate cancer (PCa)
at radical prostatectomy (RP) are still unknown. Objective To describe recurrence patterns …

We conducted a review of the literature to identify the clinical benefits of pelvic lymph node
dissection (PLND) during radical prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer. The …

PURPOSE: Subclassification of nodal stage may have prognostic value in men with lymph
node metastasis at radical prostatectomy. We explored the role of extranodal extension, size …

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 To analyze factors associated with metastases, prostate cancer-specific mortality,
and all-cause mortality in pN1 patients. Materials and methods We analyzed 3,642 radical …

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Lymph node (LN) status is one
of the most important prognostic variables in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, but …

Purpose: Lymph nodes in the prostatic anterior fat pad rarely harbor metastatic disease.
Therefore, the characteristics of patients with prostatic anterior fat pad lymph node …

Methods: The study included localized prostate cancer patients treated with radical
prostatectomy (RP) at the University of Southern California from 1988 to 2008. Competing …
