BACKGROUND: Opinions about the optimal lymph node dissection (LND) template in
prostate cancer differ. Drainage and dissemination patterns are not necessarily identical …

Background To determine the anatomic extent of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) in
prostate cancer (PCa) patients at the time of radical prostatectomy (RP), knowledge about …

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 …

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 …

OBJECTIVES: To map the primary prostatic lymphatic landing sites using a multimodality
technique. METHODS: Thirty-four patients with organ-confined prostate cancer (cT1–cT2; …

Background Preoperative assessment of the risk of lymph node invasion (LNI) is mandatory
to identify prostate cancer (PCa) patients who should receive an extended pelvic lymph …

BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) is a commonly used noninvasive procedure
for prostate cancer (PCa) staging. All previous studies addressing the ability of CT scan to …

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection techniques have the potential to change the standard
of surgical care for patients with prostate cancer. We performed a lymphatic mapping study …

Background Nodal metastasis (N1) is a strong prognostic parameter in prostate cancer;
however, lymph node evaluation is always incomplete. Objective To study the prognostic …
