Thank you Dr.Shah, much needed ! Can u please clarify the foll.point ..CAP says.."Seminal vesicle involvement is defined as a tumor invasion of the muscular wall of seminal vesicle..Only extraprostatic seminal vesicle invasion is included in the definition of seminal vesicle involvement.." At 22:05, Ty I invasion along ejaculatory ducts into SV wall.. would that be pT3b? Thanks in advance.

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

Ejaculatory duct could be a route for inversion into seminal vesicle. Importantly you need invasion into the extra prosthetic portion of the seminal vesicle to qualify for the seminal vesicle invasion. If you see invasion of only ejaculatory duct, that would be still pT2

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

Some people consider ejaculatory duct as a intraprostatic portion of seminal vesicle, however for staging you do need invasion of the extra prosthetic portion of the seminal vesicle. I hope this is clear to you

[@SandhyaRamachandran]

@@rajalbshahExperturologicpath Yes, thank you. So, whether invasion of extraprostatic SV wall is from within or without, its SV invasion!

[@tinocasadeitherezo6063]

Just one question: isn't an iatrogenic margin a real one???!!

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

Good question, Tino! I would consider iatrogenic margin as a real one as it has been created by the surgeon by cutting through the prostate. I report it as a positive but I do describe further in the comment
