Sentinel node biopsy is a suitable procedure to stage clinically node-negative penile cancer, and it has a low complication rate. No learning curve was demonstrated in this study.

While we await staging modalities that can equal the results of DSLNB with fewer disadvantages, histological staging in the form of DSLNB remains the best minimally invasive staging modality we can offer at risk patients presenting with clinically node negative groins.

Innovative surgical techniques can now preserve as much penile tissue and functional integrity as possible, without compromising oncological control. This minimizes the impact of disease and its treatment on the quality of life of the patient.
