A total of 58 patients have undergone bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy as a staging procedure for clinically localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Of these, 19 patients (33%) had pelvic lymph node involvement. When a cutoff value of 50 ng/ml was used, the preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value had a positive predictive value of 57% for pelvic lymph node metastasis. Of the patients with PSA < 20 ng/ml, only 1 (4%) had evidence of lymph node metastasis. None of the patients with well-differentiated tumor (Gleason 2-4) had lymphatic spreading. In contrast, 82% of patients with poorly differentiated tumor (Gleason 8-10) had positive pelvic lymph nodes. Those patients with high PSA (> or = 20 ng/ml) and high Gleason's score (> or = 8) had the highest incidence of nodal extension (90%).
