Abstract
prePSMA is a randomized controlled trial in which patients with high-risk prostate cancer and selected cases with intermediate-risk disease are randomized to a control arm in which all patients undergo extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND), or an experimental arm in which ePLND is only performed in patients with positive preoperative findings on prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
期刊介绍:
European Urology Focus is a new sister journal to European Urology and an official publication of the European Association of Urology (EAU).
EU Focus will publish original articles, opinion piece editorials and topical reviews on a wide range of urological issues such as oncology, functional urology, reconstructive urology, laparoscopy, robotic surgery, endourology, female urology, andrology, paediatric urology and sexual medicine. The editorial team welcome basic and translational research articles in the field of urological diseases. Authors may be solicited by the Editor directly. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by a panel of experts before being considered for publication.
