Salvage lymphadenectomy in patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy A.O. Vasil’ev, A.V. Govorov, D.Yu. Pushkar’

A separate group of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy, make patients with isolated recurrence of cancer in the lymph nodes, limited by regional and / or retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Alternatively, treatment of this patient group can be used open or laparoscopic lymphadenectomy (robot-assisted). The analysis of literature indicate an increase in disease-free survival of these patients during lymphadenectomy. Imaging techniques such as multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, allow more accurately identify lymph nodes in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy.
