Risk factors for contralateral inguinal lymph node metastases in unilaterally palpable groins in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis

Key Points

• Lymph node metastases were significantly associated with specific risk factors in patients with squamous cell carcinoma.
• Key metrics show that the presence of contralateral lymph node involvement notably increases metastatic risk.
• Observational analysis across multiple clinical settings examined the relation of risk factors to metastases in the inguinal region.
• These findings highlight the need for careful monitoring and targeted treatment approaches for patients with identified risk factors.
