Popis: Cancer-specific survival in men with penile cancer depends foremost on regional lymphatic metastasis and its extent. Patients with limited inguinal lymph node metastases have a 5-year survival of up to 80%. However, those with pelvic lymph node metastases and/or systemic disease have a 5-year survival prognosis of only 0-33%. In any case, in patients with regional lymph node metastases multimodal treatment with complete lymphadenectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy is indicated.
