Does limited pelvic lymph node dissection improve biochemical relapse-free survival at 10 years after radical prostatectomy in patients with low-risk prostate cancer?
The results of our study have shown that the omission of limited PLND in patients with favorable tumor characteristics does not adversely affect biochemical relapse-free survival at 10 years. Such patients can be spared the morbidity and cost of PLND without affecting their chance for cure.
Treatment of periodic EEG patterns does not independently improve clinical outcome of patients with impaired conscious levels. Occurrence of seizures remote to the time of EEG and lower GCS scores independently predict poor prognoses.
