Popis: To investigate the accuracy of Briganti nomogram in patients who underwent Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND).Hundred and sixty-five patients who underwent radical prostatectomy and PLND between 2012 and 2018 in our clinics were included, and their data were retrospectively screened.The mean age of patients was 63.6 ± 5.8 (range: 49-76) years. Hundred and thirty-five (81.8%) patients had a Briganti score of5, whereas 30 (18.2%) had a Briganti score of ≥5. The preoperative T-PSA levels, biopsy grades and the incidence of T2b and T2c stages in patients with a Briganti score of ≥5 was significantly higher than that in patients with a Briganti score of5 (Nomograms provide useful information regarding prostate cancer. Risk estimates should be carefully considered, and treatment decisions should be given with a patient-specific approach.
