prostate prostate cancer radical prostatectomy sentinel lymph node
summary
- The aim of the study. To describe practical aspects of application of sentinel lymph node conception in management of patients
- with prostate cancer. We presented early results of the technique.
- Material and method. From 2006 to 2008 year, twelve patients with T1c-T2 stage prostate cancer (56-71 years old), were enrolled
- into the study. All of them underwent open radical retropubic prostatectomy in Department of Urology and Urological Oncology of
- Medical University in Lublin.
- Results. The correlation between images from lymphoscintigraphy and localizations of sentinel lymph nodes detected intraoperatively
- with gamma probe, was confirmed. In 5 patients (45.4%) micrometastases in sentinel lymph nodes were revealed.
- Conclusion. Conception of sentinel lymph node in prostate cancer patients is reasonable. This method be applicable in precise assessment
- of sentinel lymph node in patients prostate cancer and should be implemented into clinical practice.
