Winter nomogram: Predicting lymph node involvement through sentinel guided pelvic lymph node dissection (SPLND)

Existing nomograms predicting lymph node involvement (LNI) in prostate cancer (PCa) are based on conventional lymphadenectomy. The aim of the study was to develop the first nomogram for predicting LNI in PCa patients undergoing sentinel guided pelvic lymph node dissection (sPLND).

Additional information

A total of 1,325 consecutive patients with prostate carcinoma were identified, who underwent sPLNDs in combination with Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy carried out by 4 highly experienced surgeons, in a single center between January 2005 and April 2010. We excluded patients with incomplete clinical information for prostate specific antigen (PSA), clinical stage or biopsy Gleason score (n = 4, 0.3%). Furthermore, we also excluded patients who had undergone a transurethral resection or laser therapy of the prostate (n = 14, 1.1%) and cT4 tumors (n = 8, 0.6%). An additional 3 patients (0.2%) were also excluded, since no SLN could be detected by the gamma probe. The final sample comprised 1,296 patients.

Conditional information

Result interpretation

According to the internal validation, a 7% threshold would be regarded as the most favorable cutoff. In our population of 1,296 patients, 406 patients (31.3%) were classified below this threshold. Avoidance of sPLND in those 406 cases would have resulted in missing LNI in 7 patients or in 3% of all patients with histologically confirmed LNI. Therefore, approximately one-third of patients could be spared from sPLND. Considerable costs and patient discomfort could be saved.

Calculations alone should never dictate patient care, and are no substitute for professional judgement. See our full disclaimer.
