作者回顾性研究前列腺癌根治术中淋巴结转移患者的临床结局,以期找到PSA进展时能作为预后判断的指标。从1982年 4月至 2003年 3月, 3264例局限性前列腺癌患者在约翰霍普金斯医学院行根治性前列腺切除及盆腔淋巴结扩大清扫术。术后病理证实存在淋巴结转移并且未行辅助治疗的 The authors retrospectively studied the clinical outcome of patients with lymph node metastases in radical prostatectomy, with a view to finding an index of prognostic judgment as PSA progresses.
