Risk factors and survival outcomes for upstaging after inguinal lymph node dissection for cN1 penile squamous cell carcinoma

CONCLUSION: The majority of cN1 pSCC patients harbor a higher-risk disease state than their clinical staging suggests, especially those with higher pT stages. More intensive pre-operative workup may be warranted for these patients to identify upstaging prior to ILND and potentially qualify them for neoadjuvant chemotherapy or clinical trials.PMID:34602362 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2021.08.028
