The prognostic significance of p53, Ki‐67, epithelial cadherin and matrix metalloproteinase‐9 in penile squamous cell carcinoma treated with surgery

Abstract

Lymphatic and vascular embolization, and p53 immunoreactivity, are helpful in establishing the probability of lymph node metastasis. The expression of p53 is an independent predictor of CSS in Chinese patients with penile cancer. In stage T1 tumours, p53 staining is an important variable determining the prognosis and treatment outcome.
