Metastatic lymph nodes outside the extended lymphadenectomy template correlate with advanced staging but not grading in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy
Metastatic LNs beyond the ePLND template correlate with more advanced tumor staging in PCa. However, they show no association with tumor grading. Their influence on BCR remains inconclusive, likely due to the small number of patients included in the BCR-associated analyses. Extended lymphadenectomy may enhance staging accuracy but must be weighed against the potential for increased surgical morbidity.
