Diagnosis of penile cancer with <i>ex vivo</i> fluorescence confocal microscopy using the Histolog® Scanner
Ex vivo FCM is a feasible, rapid imaging technique that enables high concordance with histopathology for the diagnosis of PeCa. This pilot study represents the first assessment of ex vivo FCM in penile malignancies and provides preliminary evidence supporting its potential role in intraoperative margin assessment. Larger prospective studies are required to confirm its diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility.
