2. Management of prostate cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_prostate_cancer

   If the cancer has spread beyond the prostate, treatment options change significantly, so most doctors who treat prostate cancer use a variety of nomograms to predict the probability of spread. Treatment by watchful waiting/active surveillance, HIFU, external-beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, cryosurgery, and surgery are, in general ...

3. Prostate cancer staging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostate_cancer_staging

   Prostate cancer staging is the process by which physicians categorize the risk of cancer having spread beyond the prostate, or equivalently, the probability of being cured with local therapies such as surgery or radiation. Once patients are placed in prognostic categories, this information can contribute to the selection of an optimal approach ...

4. TNM staging system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNM_staging_system

   Nx: lymph nodes cannot be assessed; N0: no regional lymph nodes metastasis; N1: regional lymph node metastasis present; at some sites, tumor spread to closest or small number of regional lymph nodes; N2: tumor spread to an extent between N1 and N3 (N2 is not used at all sites) N3: tumor spread to more distant or numerous regional lymph nodes ...

5. Radical retropubic prostatectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_retropubic...

   Lymphadenectomy—Prostate cancer often spreads to nearby lymph nodes in the early stages, especially the sentinel lymph node. Removal of select lymph nodes in the pelvis allows microscopic evaluation for evidence of cancer within these nodes. A complication called lymphocele may occur from drainage of the lymphatic fluid, especially if more ...

6. LNCaP - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNCaP

   The LNCaP (Lymph Node Carcinoma of the Prostate) cell line was established from a metastatic lesion of human prostatic adenocarcinoma.The LNCaP cells grow readily in vitro (up to 8 x 10 5 cells/sq cm; doubling time, 60 hr), form clones and are highly resistant to human fibroblast interferon.

7. Prostatectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostatectomy

   Radical prostatectomy is not recommended in the setting of known metastases when the cancer has spread through the prostate, to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body. [6] Prior to deciding the best treatment option for higher risk cancers, imaging studies using CT, MRI or bone scans are done to make sure the cancer has not spread outside ...
