title: Salvage Lymph Node Dissection for Node-only Recurrence of Prostate Cancer: Ready for Prime Time?
abstract: Several studies show that salvage lymph-node dissection for node-only recurrence of prostate cancer after radical treatment might represent a viable treatment modality for node-only recurrent PCa. However, as long as high quality data is not available, this approach should still be considered experimental.
