  • Title: Carcinoma of the prostate: lymph node aspiration for staging.
    Author: Efremidis SC, Dan SJ, Nieburgs H, Mitty HA.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1981 Mar; 136(3):489-92. PubMed ID: 6781282.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy of suspect nodes was used for histologic staging in 33 patients with clinically localized carcinoma of the prostate after an abnormal or suspicious lymphogram. A total of 66 nodes was biopsied, and positive cytology for metastatic carcinoma was obtained from 29 nodes in 20 patients indicating the presence of stage D disease. Thus, staging lymphadenectomy and radical treatment by radiation or surgery were avoided.
