Abstract

The involvement of inguinal lymph nodes is associated with a poor prognosis in penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been suggested as an independent predictor of overall survival (OS) in patients with PSCC. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of pretreatment NLR in PSCC patients undergoing either lymph node biopsy (LNB) or dissection (LND).
