1
Lymphadenectomy in the surgical treatment of prostate cancer - does it influence survival? Oliver Hakenberg Urologische Klinik und Poliklinik Universitätsklinikum Rostock
2
Incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in Europe 1998 Davidson & Gabbay, WHO Report 2007
3
Pelvic lymphadenectomy Node-positive prostate cancer is a systemic disease Surgery should be aborted if pelvic lymph nodes are positive
4
trends in risk stratification of surgically treated prostate cancer (CaPSURE) Cooperberg et al, J Urol 2003, 170, S21ff
5
temporal trends in RPE Retrospective study n=37 centres 5291 patients Stage shift PSA-recurrence = 36% Chun & Djavan et al, Eur Urol 2007, 52, 1067-75
6
Lymphadenectomy - pros and cons Pro –A significant percentage of patients will harbour N+ disease –Better staging with LAE –LAE in limited N+ will be curative Con –Overtreatment in most patients –Associated with morbidity –No influence on outcome

Partin tables for the preoperative prediction of pathologic stage

Difference in Gleason Score: original vs. reference pathology

Influence on survival? nPSA recurrence Bhatta Dhar, 2004 Low risk PCa with PLND without PLND 140 196 14% 12% Berglund, 2007 CaPSURE with PLND without PLND 4963 No significant difference
24
Influence on survival? nnodes Masterson, 20065038mean 9 (3.8% positive) No of nodes removed correlated with bNED in node- negative patients DiMarco, 20057036mean 14 (1987) to 5 (2000) No correlation of no of nodes and PSA-progression
25
Conclusions PLND carries morbidity many positive nodes are outside obturator fossa the more nodes removed the more likely the detection of positive nodes no influence of limited PLND on survival influence of extended PLND on PFS is unclear but likely extent of PLAD should depend on case and case mix low risk PCa (Gleason < 7 and PSA < 10 ng/ml) does not need PLAD
