OBJECTIVES: The rationale for locoregional staging lymphadenectomy in prostate cancer
(pCA) lies in the accurate diagnosis of occult micrometastases to stratify patients who might …

Purpose: Lymphadenectomy for prostate cancer is limited to obturator and external iliac
lymph nodes, although the internal lymph nodes represent the primary landing zone of …

OBJECTIVES: More-extensive pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) may be associated with
a higher rate of complications and a longer hospital stay than more limited PLND …

CONTEXT: Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is considered the most reliable procedure
for the detection of lymph node metastases in prostate cancer (PCa); however, the …

Objectives: Pelvic lymph node metastases indicate a poor prognosis for patients with
clinically localized prostate cancer. The aim of the study was to investigate the value of …

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to map the nodal metastases distribution in
patients with high‐risk prostate cancer (PCa) treated with extended pelvic lymph node …

Objectives. The prevalence of pelvic lymph node metastases in men with clinically localized
prostate cancer has decreased dramatically over the past decade, possibly due to efforts at …

Background Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the most reliable procedure for lymph
node staging. However, the therapeutic benefit remains unproven; although most radical …

Context Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) yields the most accurate staging in patients
undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer (PCa), although it can be …

OBJECTIVES: To study the relation between the number of removed and examined lymph
nodes at pelvic lymph node dissection and the rate of lymph node invasion (LNI) …
