DaPeCa5 - obesity at the time of diagnosis does not predict poor cancer-specific survival in patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma - a Danish National study.
CONCLUSION: In this Danish cohort, BMI above 30 kg/m2 at diagnosis does not affect prognosis, but BMI at and above 37 kg/m2 at diagnosis predicts poor prognosis. Unintentional weight loss is a predictor of high stage and poor prognosis. PSCC patients have a significantly higher BMI than age-matched healthy males.
