With regards to the EAU guidelines on penile cancer 2013. How frequently should a man be followed up during the first 2 years following penile preserving surgery and a negative sentinel lymph node biopsy?
A. MonthlyAnswer C
It is known that the majority of local, regional and distant recurrence occurs in the first 2 years following initial treatment. Follow up is therefore intense for this period and then relaxed to every 6 months out to 5 years when the majority of patients can be discharged. It’s vital that patients are taught self-examination from the outset.
