Abstract
Conclusions Patients with only 1 or 2 inguinal lymph nodes involved without extracapsular growth and no poorly differentiated tumor within these nodes are at low risk of pelvic lymph node involvement and have a good prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 90%. Pelvic lymph node dissection seems to be unnecessary in these cases.Keywords
