Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection during Robotic Prostate Surgery Reduces Biochemical Recurrence: A Propensity Score- matched Analysis for High-risk Prostate Cancer
Abstract:Objectives
To avoid misunderstandings based on the failure to demonstrate oncological benefit from extended pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) during radical prostatectomy in a recent randomized controlled trial. We evaluated early survival outcome in contemporary patients with limited to high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) using propensity score (PS)-matched analysis.
Materials and Methods
Three-hundred and forty-seven patients with high-risk PCa were enrolled. They were determined to have a lymph node (LN) in… Show more
