The second group of lymphatics travels with branches of the hemorrhoidal artery to the hypogastric nodes. The third pedicle arises from the posterior surface, courses posteriorly to the pre-sacral region and encounters the first lymph node usually at the level of second sacral foramina. Other ...
Lymph node dissection performed during radical prostatectomy is the gold standard for determining lymph node invasion (LNI) in patients with prostate cancer. The role of pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with low-, intermediate-, and high-risk pro
Prostate cancer: to scan or not to scan for lymph node involvement?doi:10.1080/00365590701486010Lymph nodesmetastasesprostate cancerultrasonographyCTMRIObjective. When diagnosing lymph node involvement in prostate cancer (PC), the available imaging techniques are considered to be of doubtful value but are...
Limited forms of staging LA (i.e. laparoscopic LA) fail to detect lymph node metastases in a high percentage of cases. The frequently practised exclusive dissection of the obturator fossa lymph nodes proved to be completely insufficient, as nearly half of the patients would have been falsely ...
Lymph node staging is mandatory in patients with intermediate and high risk prostate cancer (EAU guidelines) when treatment with curative intention is chosen. The presence of disseminated lymph nodes gives an elevated risk of systemic dissemination of PCa. Thus accurate knowledge concerning LNI is ...
Routine pathologic examination can miss micrometastatic tumor foci in the lymph nodes of patients with prostate cancer, resulting in confusion during tumor... H Miyake,I Hara,T Kurahashi,... - 《Clinical Cancer Research An Official Journal of the American Association for Cancer Research》 被引量...
To test the relationship between the extent of pelvic lymph node dissection at radical prostatectomy and the rate of lymph node metastases, and to identify the ideal number of lymph nodes that should be removed to achieve an optimal staging.Methods: We assessed 20 789 prostate cancer patients tre...
The role of pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with low-, intermediate-, and high-risk prostate cancer has been evaluated in depth to determine the need for lymph node removal, as well as the extent of how aggressively lymph nodes should be dissected in these patients. While imaging ...
imaging of pelvic lymph nodes in patients with prostate cancer as well as to analyze its significance and usefulness in clinical practice.Because of poor sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography (CT) and MRI, new imaging modalities of lymph nodes in prostate cancer patients would be ...
Lymph node positive prostate cancer: long-term survival data after radical prostatectomy. We retrospectively reviewed the outcome in our patients with prostate cancer and regional positive lymph nodes who underwent prostatectomy. Between January... U Zwergel,J Lehmann,B Wullich,... - 《J Urol》 被...
