Contemporary management of penile squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common tumor of the penis. The natural history and its proclivity to spread via regional lymphatics has been well defined. Laser ablation of the primary tumor has a prominent role in patients with a superficial tumor as a penis-conserving approach. Patients with deeper infiltrating tumors, should undergo (partial) penile amputation. For patients presenting with proven metastatic nodes complete (ilio-) inguinal lymphadenectomy should be performed. During the last two de… Show more

“…The management of genital SCC is not generally the province of the dermatologist [168,255,283,284,[302][303][304][305][306][307][308][309][310][311][312]. Adequate surgical excision is required.…”

“…Although rare in Western nations (incidence of 0.3-1/100,000; refs. 1, 2), PeSCCA can constitute up to 17% of malignant disease in men in the developing world (1). PeSCCA primarily affects older men (ages 50-70) and is rare in men less than 20 years of age (3).…”

“…PeSCCA has a multitude of histologic subtypes that have distinct clinical and prognostic associations (3). The presentation of PeSCCA can be either ulcerated or exophytic, and the disease shows a tendency toward lymphatic dissemination toward the inguinal nodes, with 30% to 60% of patients having palpable lymphadenopathy at presentation (1). Although surgery alone can cure approximately 80% of patients with limited lymph node involvement (4), advanced PeSCCA requires incorporation of systemic therapies in the neoadjuvant, consolidative, or adjuvant setting to improve outcomes over single modality approaches (5), although the evidence level for treatment guidelines is relatively low (6).…”

“…A scopo terapeutico si pratica la linfadenectomia al tempo della penectomia, oppure entro tre mesi solo in caso di positivitĂ  all'esame clinico dei linfonodi inguinali [8]. In caso di negativitĂ  dei linfonodi, non potendosi escludere la presenza di micrometastasi, si ricorre all'uso della biopsia dinamica del linfonodo, o dei linfonodi, sentinella (DSNB).…”
