Lymph node dissection (LND) has been standard in cancer surgery for more than a century, yet evidence from randomized trials showing a benefit is scarce. We conducted a clinically integrated randomized trial comparing limited versus extended pelvic LND (PLND) during radical prostatectomy and previously reported comparable biochemical recurrence (BCR) rates. We report updated BCR rates and compare rates of metastasis between the study arms.

前列腺癌盆腔淋巴结清扫术：有限与扩展清扫随机临床试验的更新


一个多世纪以来，淋巴结清扫术 （LND） 一直是癌症手术的标准，但随机试验表明其益处的证据很少。我们进行了一项临床整合随机试验，比较了根治性前列腺切除术期间局限性与扩展盆腔 LND （PLND） 以及先前报告的可比生化复发 （BCR） 率。我们报告了更新的 BCR 率并比较了研究组之间的转移率。
