Abstract

Ramani Kumar

Use of p53 as a prognostic marker to detect early lymph node metastasis in carcinoma of penis in order to avoid unnecessary lymphadenectomy was evaluated. The aim of the study is to detect early metastasis in amputated specimens of penis, by using p53 immuno marker, and correlation with the histopathological variables and clinical stage.
