Delay to Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection Greater than 3 months Predicts Poorer Recurrence Free Survival for Penile Cancer Patients

It is unknown if concomitant inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) at time of penectomy improves outcomes for penile cancer patients. We analyzed predictors for regional recurrence as well as recurrence free (RFS) and disease specific (DSS) survival based on time of ILND, and determine an optimal time for performance of ILND.
