Purpose Of Review:
Penile cancer is a rare disease with significant morbidity. Because of the low volume of cases, it has been suggested that its treatment should be centralized in order to improve outcomes through better management of both the primary tumor and distant disease. We reviewed and summarized the most relevant recent publications regarding centralization of penile cancer management.
Recent Findings:
Management of penile cancer in academic and supra-regional centers was associated with better survival outcomes. Moreover, reports from population-based studies showed more adherence to guidelines recommendations in academic centers with higher utilization of organ sparing treatments and invasive inguinal lymph node staging.
Summary:
The optimal management of penile cancer remains a major therapeutic challenge. Patients with invasive tumors are less adequately managed in lower volume nonspecialized centers. The data convincingly support efforts to centralize penile cancer care and to promote the development of centers of expertise in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for each patient.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
