Article Synopsis
- The study compares a new minimally-invasive lymph node dissection technique for penile cancer (MILND) with the traditional open approach (OILND) to evaluate patient outcomes.
- Between 2016 and 2023, results showed that MILND had shorter operation times, shorter hospital stays, and fewer days with drainage compared to OILND, while also yielding similar or better lymph node results.
- Additionally, MILND led to a lower rate of major complications, suggesting it may enhance patient safety and recovery compared to the standard approach.
Prostate cancer (PCa) remains a significant global health issue, exhibiting a spectrum of clinical behaviours from indolent to aggressive. Biomarkers are crucial for risk assessment, treatment selection and prognosis prediction. Despite their importance, accurately evaluating PCa aggressiveness and guiding personalised treatment strategies present challenges.
