“…Although PSS was associated with an increased risk of local failure, it did not appear to compromise long-term cancer-specific survival. The five-year cancer-specific survival rate following local recurrence was 92% in two large studies (1,6). In addition, sexual function, micturition and cosmetic results were generally well maintained following conservative surgery (3,(6)(7)(8)(20)(21)(22)(23).…”

Abstract. Current guidelines recommend penile sparing surgery (PSS) for selected penile cancer cases. The present study described the use of PSS in a population-based cohort, and also examined the role of PSS on penile cancer-specific mortality (PCSM). Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were used to identify individuals that were diagnosed with penile squamous cell carcinoma between 1998 and 2009 and treated with surgery. Patients were sorted into two groups: Local tumor excision (LTE) and partial/total penectomy (PE). Factors associated with the receipt of LTE and PCSM following LTE were examined. In addition, PCSM was compared between LTE and PE following propensity score matching. Of the 1,292 eligible patients, 24.2% underwent LTE. For stage T1 disease, the rates of LTE increased moderately from 29 to 40% over the last decade. Following multivariate analyses, young age, African descent, a tumor size of <3 cm and stage T1 disease were identified to positively influence the receipt of LTE. With a median follow-up period of 55 months, the four-year PCSM rate was 9.8% in patients treated with LTE. Older age, a tumor size of 3-4 cm and regional/distant disease (SEER stage) were significant predictors of PCSM. Furthermore, in matched cohorts with stage T1 disease, the four-year PCSM rates were 8.9 and 10.0% for patients that received LTE or PE, respectively (P=0.93). In conclusion, underuse of PSS is pronounced in the general community with significant age and ethnicity disparities. The current population-based study provides evidence supporting the oncological safety of PSS compared with PE in early-stage disease.

“…Partial or total penectomy (PE) has historically been considered the standard treatment for invasive disease (1). Although the local control rate of PE is ~95% (1), it has a significant negative impact on the patient's sexual function, quality of life, social interactions, self-image and self-esteem (2).…”

“…Local recurrence rates were higher with penile preservation compared to partial or total amputation (27.7% versus 5.3%) (34). Five year disease specific survival in those who locally recurred was 92%, however, prompting the authors to conclude that there is little impact on survival from utilizing phallic preservation techniques (34).…”

“…It is likely best utilized in tumors smaller than 4 cm with less than 1 cm of invasion (29). Neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd: Yag) and CO2 lasers have been used primarily in early stage penile cancers, and may be particularly effective for carcinoma in situ or for T1 and T2 lesions that are 3 cm or smaller (8,(32)(33)(34). Some no longer apply this technology to T2 tumors as there may be a higher risk for nodal metastasis (35).…”

Purpose: The management of penile cancer has evolved as less invasive techniques are applied in the treatment of the primary tumor and inguinal lymph nodes. Materials and Methods: Herein we review the literature focusing on advances in the preservation of the phallus as well as less morbid procedures to evaluate and treat the groins. Results: Promising imaging modalities for staging are discussed. New techniques are described and tables provided for penile preservation. We also review the contemporary morbidity of modified surgical forms for evaluation of the inguinal nodes. Conclusions: Advances in surgical technique have made phallic preservation possible in a greater number of primary penile cancers. The groins can be evaluated for metastasis with greater accuracy through new radiologic means as well as with less morbid modified surgical techniques.

“…Leijte JA et al, in their retrospective study, analyzed 700 patients from two referral centers for penile carcinoma for recurrences and compared laser therapy, WLE, and radiotherapy to partial or total penectomy. They concluded that local disease recurrence rates were lower with the latter treatment (5.3 vs. 27.7%) but there was no significant difference in overall disease survival [43]. Also, patients undergoing penile-preserving therapy (pN+), and those undergoing a wait-and-see policy for the nodal status are at high risk of developing a recurrence [44][45][46][47][48].…”

Carcinoma of the penis is not uncommon in India. A sizeable number of patients do not report to the doctors in fear of mutilation to the organ and hence subsequently end up with advanced disease. Many patients with T1 or T2 disease when carefully selected are amenable to organ-preserving penile procedures including surgery, topical therapy, laser, and radiation therapy. Identification of appropriate patients and institution of these treatments has been noted to produce oncologically comparable results to extirpative surgeries. In this article, we review the criteria to identify patients qualifying for organ-preserving treatments and also review outcomes with a variety of penile-preserving procedures.
