“…In stages I and 11, we treated the inguinal nodes only if they later on became clinically positive. The review of the literature supports our opinion that prophylactic groin dissection is of doubtful value, because of the relatively low incidence of subclinical metastatic nodes (2,22,36). In our series of 30 stage I and I1 tumours, 8 later on developed inguinal lymph node metastases.…”

“…Some studies have suggested penile carcinoma is four times more common in whites compared with African Americans. 2,3 In contrast, Beggs and Spratt 4 reported no difference in race presentation percentage in 1964. However, in 1979, Muir and Nectoux 5 found a 2:1 AfricanAmerican predominance.…”

BACKGROUND Penile carcinoma is uncommon. Therefore, obtaining meaningful epidemiologic data requires analysis of large, multisource databases. The authors examined the association between different demographic variables and the prevalence, presentation, and survival of patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma in the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. METHODS The SEER database represents 12% of the U.S. population. The database included 1605 patients with a diagnosis of penile squamous cell carcinoma between 1973 and 1998. The variables analyzed were age, race, marital status, stage at presentation, type of surgery, performance of lymphadenectomy, and disease‐specific survival. RESULTS Of 1605 patients, 37% presented with carcinoma in situ (CIS), 39% with localized disease, 13% with regional disease, 2.3% with distant disease, and 7.9% of the patients were unstaged. The percentage of patients presenting with CIS and localized disease increased and decreased yearly, respectively. African Americans represented 9.9% of the population and tended to present at a younger age and with a higher stage of disease, and their cancer‐specific survival was shorter in all stages. However, these associations were statistically significant only for men with regional disease. Marital status was documented for 1394 patients (87%). The majority (84%) had a history of marriage and presented at an earlier stage of disease and had higher disease‐specific survival in the localized (P = 0.0002) and regional stages (P = 0.0010) of disease. CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of penile carcinoma significantly reduced survival. African‐American men presented with a higher stage of disease and statistically significant decreased survival, whereas previously or currently married men presented at an earlier stage of disease and sought more aggressive treatment.

“…Patients with a flat growth pattern have a greater, incidence of inguinal lymph involvement. In this study, to our surprise it was the papillary variety that had more regional lymph node involvement that the flat pattern [8]. The primary symptom at presentation in most of the patients in this study was with a growth in their penis.…”

Carcinoma penis is a common malignancy. Accounting for upto 10% of all cancers in uncircumcised male population in Asian countries. Carcinoma penis is almost unheard of races like the jews, who practice neonatal Circumcision. A very low incidence occurs in Muslims who undergo circumcision at around school going age. Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for at least 90% of all penile malignancies. 5% is constituted by adeno carcinoma Rest 5% by melanoma, Basal cell carcinoma & Sarcoma. It usually presents in sixth decade of life. It could be prevented or diagnosed early in most cases. The aim of the Study is to analyze the incidence, types, presenting symptoms and treatment of carcinoma penis. During 2009 and 2010 for a period of two years, 33 cases were admitted for treatment of carcinoma all the 33 cases were studied in detail with detailed clinical examination and special investigations like skin tests, serology, culture and special stains were done only wherever required. Histopathological examination of the primary lesion was done. The maximum incidence age group is found to e 41 -50 years. About 21 cases reported as a papillary variety and the rest 12 cases reported as a flat variety which means 64% of cases reported as a papillary one and the rest 16% as flat one. Patients of the 58% patients with flat variety had regional lymph node metastasis whereas 68% out of the papillary pattern had regional lymph node metastasis. The bulk of patients in this study presented primarily for a growth in penis in 85% of cases. The treatment for the primary cancer, depending on the extent of lesion in the penis, one of the following three surgeries was done. Partial amputation was done in 11 patients and total amputation with perinea urethrostomy with emasculation in 12 cases and without emasculation inurethrostomy with emasculation in 12 cases. Age incidence of Carcinoma penis is high in fifth decade. The commonest site of distribution in carcinoma penis is Glans. Ulcer proliferative lesion was the commonest presentation in carcinoma penis. The majority of cases were of squamous cell carcinoma. The prognosis depends upon the stage and nodal status at presentation. Partial Amputation was done for stage I; Total Amputation for stage II; surgery alone or surgery and radiotherapy for stage III. Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy in combination with surgery or alone for stage IV disease.
