Although transurethral resection of the prostate provides an effective treatment for obstructive voiding symptoms associated with prostate cancer, there is growing concern about the possible role of transurethral resection in the dissemination of this malignancy. To determine the effect of transurethral resection on the rate of development of distant metastasis, we analyzed a large series of patients (379) treated at our institution with definitive radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer that was diagnosed by either needle biopsy or transurethral prostatic resection. In our series the presence of lymph node metastasis was documented by pelvic lymph node dissection in all patients. |
