The role of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) in patients with localized prostate cancer remains controversial. Although guidelines are increasingly recommending extended PLND alongside radical ...

But no patients in the biopsy-only group had a recurrence in the retroperitoneal lymph nodes compared with 9 patients in the pelvic lymphadenectomy group. The 3-year disease-free survival (primary ...

We prospectively assessed 61 pelvic lymph node dissection specimens (packets) in 14 consecutive patients undergoing radical cystectomy. The final pathologic stage of the tumors present in the ...

Lymph node dissection conducted during radical cystectomy is essential for tumor staging in patients with invasive bladder cancer. It might also provide therapeutic benefits for these patients and ...

The gold standard for management of MIBC has been radical removal of the bladder with concomitant pelvic lymph node dissection (LND) -- i.e., radical cystectomy.

Extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) is not associated with increased risks of post-operative incontinence or erectile dysfunction (ED) after bilateral nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy ...

Patients undergoing extended pelvic lymph node dissection during (EPLND) during radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (MIBC) do not benefit from improved ...

Background: The therapeutic benefit of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) in the surgical treatment of localized prostate cancer remains unproven. In this trial we aim to evaluate whether PLND ...

The study, presented at ASCO's Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, is based on data from 599 patients with urothelial MIBC (cT2-4aN0-2M0) who underwent curative-intent radiation therapy of the ...

The results were compelling: this dual injection method reduced PLND surgery time by an average of 6.2 minutes and improved the accuracy of lymph node dissection to 93.41%, compared to just 75.91% ...
