Lymphadenectomy in Prostate Cancer: Techniques and Outcome
摘要
Despite recent advances in imaging, pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) remains the gold standard for nodal staging in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. However, significant debate remains on the therapeutic benefits of more extensive PLND. This chapter will review the indications, techniques, and outcomes of extended pelvic lymphadenectomy (ePLND) in the surgical treatment of PCa patients.
