Popis: A separate group of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy are patients with isolated recurrence of cancer in lymph nodes limited by regional and/or retroperitoneal lymph nodes. As one method of treatment of this patient group it could be applied lymphadenectomy by open or laparoscopic (robot-assisted) approach. The analysis of literature references indicates an increase of overall survival in this group of patients after lymphadenectomy. Imaging techniques such as multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography allow more accurately identifying lymph nodes damage in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy.
