The relevance of nomograms for prediction of pelvic lymph node metastases in the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET/CT era Open
Background/Aims Current guidelines suggest that the indications for pelvic lymph node (LN) dissection (PLND) during radical prostatectomy (RP) should rely on nomograms predicting their involvement. Positron emission tomography/computed tom…
