Increasing rate of lymph node invasion in patients with prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy and lymph node dissection
Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations Jun 13, 2018
Preisser F, et al. - Authors gauged the lymph node invasion (LNI) rates in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. In PCa patients, an inverse stage migration has been demonstrated toward more advanced and unfavorable diseases, so the study authors presumed that this trend was also evident in LNI rates, in PCa patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP), and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). As per data, the presumption about increasing LNI rate over time in RP patients was confirmed. An increasing rate of unfavorable PCa defined as LNI was suggested, and this is a unique finding for contemporary epidemiological North American or European databases.
