On the probability of lymph node negativity in pN0-staged prostate cancer —a theoretically derived rule of thumb for adjuvant needs

ConclusionWe developed a  theoretical formula for estimation of the npv in pN0-staged prostate cancer patients. It is a sine qua non to use the formula in a clinically experienced context before deciding to electively irradiate pelvic lymph nodes or to intensify adjuvant systemic treatment.
