Effects of 3 months' neoadjuvant hormonal treatment with a GnRH analogue (triptorelin) prior to radical retropubic prostatectomy on prostate-specific antigen and tumour volume in prostate cancer.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The presence of lymph node metastasis (LNM) at radical prostatectomy (RP) is associated with poor outcome, and optimal treatment remains undefined. An understanding of the natural history of node-positive prostate cancer (PCa) and identifying prognostic factors is needed. OBJECTIVE:To assess outcomes for pa...
