Introduction: The impact of radical prostatectomy on the social well-being of survivors remains poorly understood. This meta-synthesis therefore aimed to integrate the findings of qualitative research evaluating the impact of surgery on the patient relationships with partners, family and wider societal interactions.
Methods: Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Embase were searched for qualitative studies evaluating social well-being dimensions.
The presence of lymph node metastasis is the most important prognostic indicator for patients with penile cancer. However, predicting which clinically node negative patients will harbor lymph node metastases remains unclear. The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of biomarkers p53, Ki-67, and SCCAg in predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

- The study looked at how masculinity, body image, and self-esteem affect the quality of life for men with prostate cancer.
- Researchers reviewed many studies to find and evaluate different tools that measure these factors in patients.
- They found 46 studies using 17 different tools, but most weren't specially made for prostate cancer patients, suggesting that more research is needed to create better measurement tools for them.
