| Description | Salvage lymph node dissection is a therapeutic option in patients with nodal-only recurrence after radical prostatectomy. Although this operation does not achieved complete cure in the majority of cases, it can prolong survival and help postpone hormonal therapy in selected patients while being a relatively safe procedure. The authors describe a case study of a radical prostatectomy patient with radiologically proven recurrence of prostate cancer limited to an internal iliac node. He underwent salvage lymph node dissection with a complete biochemical response. Remission lasts 13 months following surgery and the patient is currently without the need for androgen deprivation therapy. |
