Incidence of positive pelvic lymph nodes in patients with prostate cancer, a prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) level of ≤10 ng/mL and biopsy Gleason score of ≤6, and their influence on PSA progression‐free survival after radical prostatectomy

Abstract

When dissecting pelvic lymph nodes, extended or sentinel lymphadenectomy should be preferred. Removing the diseased nodes could improve the PSA progression-free survival, especially in well differentiated organ-confined disease.
