PURPOSE: A sentinel lymph node (SNL) is the primary landing zone of cancer cells that spreads through the lymphatic vessels. The rational of the detection of sentinel node (SLN) during radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer (PCa) is the removal of the first nodal stations to provide a restriction of the template of node dissection. A...

Aim: To assess the outcomes of patients treated with postoperative RT in relation to the possible prognostic factors. Background: Postoperative radiotherapy (RT) has been proved to reduce the risk of biochemical recurrence in high-risk prostate cancer patients. Baseline prostate specific antigen (PSA), pathological Gleason score (GS), positive...

Objectives: To assess the predictive accuracy and the clinical value of a recent nomogram predicting cancer-specific mortality-free survival after surgery in pN1 prostate cancer patients through an external validation. Methods: We evaluated 518 prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection with...

Objectives: To investigate cancer-specific mortality and other-cause mortality in prostate cancer patients with nodal metastases. Methods: The study included 411 patients treated with radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection for prostate cancer with lymph node metastases at 10 tertiary care centers between 1995 and 2014....
