Carcinoma of the penis is rare in this country. A total of 219 patients diagnosed to have carcinoma of the penis were analyzed retrospectively. The primary penile lesion was treated by partial amputation in 160 patients. Forty‐two patients had inguinal node dissection. Forty‐six patients received radiation therapy to the inguinal region. Sixty‐five per cent of the patients with no palpable nodes at initial diagnosis survived for six or more years. Twenty‐eight per cent of the patients with palpable nodes survived for three to five years, and 15% for six or more years. Ten per cent of the patients died of a second primary tumor.

One hundred patients who have had nephrostomies performed for obstructive uropathy in the presence of extensive carcinoma have been retrospectively analysed. Patients with prostatic and cervical carcinoma had a moderately good long-term survival and quality of life, but those with bladder carcinoma or other primary sites had poor results. Significant factors in the selection of patients for nephrostomy drainage in the presence of pelvic cancer are discussed.

Short hairpin RNA to Müller cell VEGF164 maintained long-term inhibition of IVNV and limited cell death compared with shRNA to VEGFA.
