In the commonly used TNM staging system for prostate cancer, the presence of nodal metastases is indicative of stage IV disease and essentially makes the patient ineligible for curative surgery (6,7) (Fig 1). Moreover, the presence of undetected nodal spread of disease can cause a failure of...
A commonly used system of staging is called the TNM system. The “T” component describes how much the tumor has grown in and around the prostate gland; the “N” component of staging indicates whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes; and the “M” component indicates whether the canc...

According to current guidelines, conventional imaging is still the first-line imaging technique for primary prostate cancer [2]. However, recent studies showed that prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) outperformed conventional imaging techniques in staging primary ...
