Sixty-three consecutive patients with cancer of the prostate treated by pelvic lymphadenectomy, I-125 implantation +/- Co60 therapy were studied regarding the impact of extension of cancer beyond the capsule and minimal nodal involvement. Extension of cancer beyond the prostatic capsule, Stage T3, constituted 34%, while Stages T0-2 comprised 66% of the cases. The features of T3 compared with T2 or less were: higher incidence of younger age (50s), 29% vs. 19%; less well-differentiated cancer, 29% vs. 64%; higher incidence of pelvic node involvement, 52% vs. 18%; and higher incidence of recurrence, 24% vs. 4.7%. The involvement of only one or two pelvic nodes by microscopic cancer did not adversely affect the prognosis in T2 group over a relatively short period of follow-up. No local recurrence occurred in T2. In the T3 group, two of 21 (9.5%) developed local recurrence.
