“…Gontero et al reported that operative time was significantly longer and the incidence of lymphocele was fourfold higher in the advanced disease series in comparison with cLD, supposedly as a result of extended lymphadenectomy. 7 However, in the current study, not only operative times, but also the incidence of lymphocele, were not statistically significant between the cLD and the cLAD groups. Two possible explanations are that we carried out only limited lympadenectomy and another is that we always ligate lymphatic vessels coming from the legs instead of clipping, because hemoclips have a tendency to be torn away during subsequent surgery.…”

“…No study has provided persuasive evidence favoring one treatment modality over another. Radiation therapy has the advantage of avoiding the immediate morbidity of surgery, particularly since surgery for locally advanced cancers may be associated with a slightly higher complication rate than that for organ-confined cancers [22]. RP, compared with radiation therapy, may minimize late sequelae of local disease progression, although data supporting this conjecture are currently unavailable [23].…”

“…To identify high-risk cohorts we examined eight different definitions commonly used in the medical literature. Depending on the definition used, clinically high-risk patients had cancers that were organ-confined in 22[en]63% of cases and 5-yr probability of freedom from PSA relapse ranging from 49% to 80%. Moreover, of the high-risk patients who had disease recurrence, 25% (across all definitions) relapsed more than 2 yr after surgery, and in 26[en]39% the PSA doubling time at recurrence was ≥ 10 mo, both considered surrogates for a more protracted clinical course following biochemical recurrence (BCR) [5].…”
