Contemporary adherence of the indication to European Association of Urology (EAU) guideline recommendation for pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) at either open (ORP) or robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) at a high-volume center is unknown.

The role and extent of extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) during radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer patients remains unclear.

A PubMed literature search was performed for studies reporting on treatment regimens and outcomes in patients with prostate cancer treated by RP and extended lymph node dissection between 1999 and 2013.

Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is performed alongside radical prostatectomy as the most accurate method of staging prostate cancer. Yet the potential therapeutic benefits of lymphadenectomy are yet to be confirmed.

To prospectively assess the ideal dosing and the value of fluorescent sentinel lymph node (LN) detection with indocyanine green (ICG) for the detection of LN metastases in intermediate- and high-risk patients undergoing robot-assisted prostatectomy and extended pelvic LN dissection (ePLND).

Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is recommended for patients with prostate cancer (PCa) and significant risk for nodal metastases. This study aimed to assess guideline adherence regarding PLND according to the German S3 guideline as example for a national but highly used guideline on prostate cancer and to compare the rate of complications different approaches for radical prostatectomy (RP).

Clinical lymphadenopathy (cN+) from prostate cancer (PCa) identified on imaging remains a contraindication to radical prostatectomy (RP) according to guidelines. We tested the hypothesis that there would be no difference in survival between patients with and without cN+ on preoperative imaging who underwent RP and pelvic lymph node dissection with detection of pelvic lymph node metastasis (LNM).

The first evaluation of pelvic extended lymph node dissection (pLND) in oligometastatic prostate cancer (PCa) detected by (68) Ga-PSMA PET/CT.

Retrospective analysis of 35 PCa patients underwent (68) Ga-PSMA PET/CT affected by biochemical recurrence (BCR) after curative treatment (n = 23) or before primary therapy of high-risk PCa (n = 12).

To describe the pathologic findings and clinical outcome data for patients undergoing pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) in the course of management of testicular germ cell tumors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC).

To evaluate the morbidity of different surgical approaches for pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND), to evaluate the influence of morbidity on radiotherapy (RT) planning and to evaluate a possible therapeutic effect of a more extensive yield of PLND.

Conventional imaging techniques are inadequate for lymph node staging in prostate cancer (PC). This study aims to assess the accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for lymph node (LN) staging in intermediate and high-risk PC.

Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PSMA-PET/CT) has increased the sensitivity and specificity of imaging to identify metastatic prostate cancer in the group of patients with early biochemical recurrence when compared to conventional imaging.

Lymphadenectomy (LND) for locally advanced penile cancer is often necessary in patients with suspected disease within the inguinal or pelvic lymph nodes because the results of systemic therapy are somewhat marginal.

The benefit of adding sentinel node biopsy (SNB) to extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND), remains controversial. Aim of our study was to evaluate biochemical recurrence (BCR) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and ePLND in prostate cancer (PCa) patients, stratified by the application of SNB.

The utilization and extent of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) varies depending on the disease and practice patterns.

This study compares practice patterns in utilization of PLND between Indian and United States (US) practices.
