    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Penile carcinoma is a rare malignancy.
    • Epidermoid carcinoma constitutes the majority of penile tumors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the treatment outcomes and prognostic factors for penile cancer.
    • To assess the efficacy of surgical management, including amputation and lymph node dissection.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 91 patients with penile tumors.
    • Histopathological re-evaluation of 56 cases, confirming epidermoid carcinoma.
    • Review of treatment histories and survival data for over five years.

    Main Results:

    • Penile carcinoma incidence has not increased in recent decades.
    • No correlation found between venereal diseases or symptom duration and metastasis.

  • Amputation is the primary treatment; lymph node dissection is crucial for suspected metastatic disease.
  • Over 70% of patients survived at least five years, including those with positive lymph nodes.
  • Cytostatic therapy was not used in this series.

    • Conclusions:

    • Amputation and timely lymph node dissection offer high survival rates for penile cancer.
    • Early detection and surgical intervention are critical for preventing metastasis and improving outcomes.
    • Further research may explore the role of cytostatic drugs, like bleomycin, in combination therapy.
