Abstract
Nodal staging is important in prostate cancer treatment While surgical lymph node dissection is the classic method of determining whether lymph nodes harbor malignancy this is a very invasive technique Current noninvasive approaches to identifying malignant lymph nodes are limited Conventional imaging methods rely on size and morphology of lymph nodes and have notoriously low sensitivity for detecting malignant nodes New imaging techniques such as targeted positron emission tomography PET imaging and magnetic resonance lymphography MRL with iron oxide particles are promising for nodal staging of prostate cancer In this review the strengths and limitations of imaging techniques for lymph node staging of prostate cancer are discussed
