Popis: Abstract Purpose To assess whether completeness of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) as measured by lymph node yield reduces biochemical recurrence (BCR) in men undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer (PCa), stratified according to Briganti nomogram-derived risk (≥5% vs. 0.2ng/ml. Patients were analysed according to Briganti Nomogram derived risk of ‘low-risk’ (
