What is the best prognostic marker of CA penis
Correct Answer: Absent inguinal LN metastasis
Description: The prognosis of penile cancer is primarily related to the presence or absence of inguinal node metastasis. Untreated patients with inguinal metastases rarely survive 2 years. Of those with clinically palpable adenopathy and histologically proven metastases, 20-50% are alive at 5 years following inguinal lymphadenectomy.The results are even better when the extent of the nodal involvement is considered. When the nodes are positive, the overall recurrence rate is 80%, and the 5-year survival rate is 10%-15%. Fixed lymph node status indicates the advancement of the disease.
