Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Carcinoma of the penis is a rare malignancy.
  • Trends in penile carcinoma incidence may be influenced by public health practices such as neonatal circumcision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the management and outcomes of penile carcinoma cases treated at a specialized cancer institute.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment modalities, including surgery and radiotherapy.
  • To discuss the role of preventive measures like circumcision.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 102 penile carcinoma cases treated between 1954 and 1984.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, referral patterns, treatment interventions, and outcomes.
  • Consideration of selection bias due to referral for recurrence or conservative management.

Main Results:

  • Mean patient age was 62.5 years.
  • Referral rates nearly doubled in the latter decade of the study period, potentially linked to decreased neonatal circumcision rates.
  • Partial surgical amputation demonstrated efficacy in local cure for invasive disease.
  • Radiotherapy proved effective for superficial tumors and early-stage nodal disease.

Conclusions:

  • Partial surgical amputation offers better local cure rates and patient quality of life for invasive penile carcinoma.
  • Radiotherapy is a viable option for specific stages of penile cancer.
  • Neonatal circumcision is the most effective strategy for preventing penile carcinoma.
