N2 - Background: Little is known about the outcomes and prognostic factors of adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced penile squamous cell carcinoma after regional lymphadenectomy (LAD). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data from 21 patients who had received taxane, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (TPF, every 3 weeks) in the adjuvant setting at our center. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were undertaken for disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of TPF. Results: The patients had received TPF from July 2004 to July 2012 after inguinal (n = 6) or inguinal plus pelvic LAD (n = 15), and the median follow-up was 52 months. Thirteen (61.9%) had pelvic and 5 (23.8%) bilateral inguinal nodal metastases. The median time from LAD to the start of TPF was 5.4 weeks (interquartile range [IQR], 4.1-7.3 weeks). Metastatic tumor tissue from 11 of 19 evaluable patients (57.9%) showed positive immunohistochemistry staining for p53. Univariably, only the expression of p53 showed a trend toward poorer DFS (hazard ratio [HR], 4.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.87-19.68; P = .074) and OS (HR, 4.54; 95% CI, 0.95-21.56; P = .056). The same results were obtained multivariably for DFS (HR, 3.76; 95% CI, 0.78-17.96; P = .096) and OS (HR, 4.29; 95% CI, 0.89-20.57; P = .067). The median DFS was 8.9 months (IQR, 5.9-22.7 months) for p53-expressing patients versus not estimable for non-p53-expressing patients (P = .051) and the median OS was 17.2 months (IQR, 12.8-22.7 months) and not estimable, respectively (P = .037). Conclusion: In patients who had received adjuvant TPF for node-positive penile squamous cell carcinoma, p53 IHC expression seemed to be associated with a poorer outcome, and further study is warranted in larger data sets to confirm these findings. This information might be useful to improve the prognostic allocation.
