Lymph node involvement in prostate cancer after laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissectionIntroduction Despite current use of MRI for lymph node staging in patients with prostate cancer (PCa), extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) is still the gold standard. Lymph node staging is mandatory in...
Objective. When diagnosing lymph node involvement in prostate cancer (PC), the available imaging techniques are considered to be of doubtful value but are still in common use in many institutions because of a lack of better alternatives. To help us choose between methods while we wait for ...

Lymph node staging is mandatory in patients with intermediate and high risk prostate cancer (EAU guidelines) when treatme...
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers that affect men, especially those > 50 years of age. Typically, prostate cancer has an indolent course and is usually discovered while still locali...
Pelvic lymph node involvement is an adverse prognostic factor in clinically localized prostate cancer, and a knowledge of nodal status is important for patient management. Whereas nodal disease has been widely regarded as incurable, evidence is now accumulating that some men with lymph node involvement...
