“…4 Prognosis of the patients with the regional disease depends upon the extensiveness of metastases. If metastatic spread in an early stage is detected immediately upon prophylactic or therapeutic lymphadenectomy, more than three quarters of patients can survive, [6][7][8] whereas in case of the metastatic spread in an advanced stage with bilateral nodal infiltration as well as extranodal tumour extension, less than 12% of patients may survive. 9 A similar observation was pursued in our study in which only 2/12 patients survived with regionally advanced disease after radiotherapy.…”

“…In others, the enlargement was observed later on; in 4 patients (patients 1, 2, 10, and 11), the nodes were enlarged due to post-penectomy recurrence and surveillance policy, in one (patient 5), the enlargement was observed after prophylactic lymphadenectomy, and in one (patient 3), after sentinel lymph node dissection. In 8 patients (Table 1), radiotherapy was indicated because of palpable inguinal tumours which were diagnosed either as inoperable infiltrations in the nodes in 5 patients (patients [8][9][10][11][12] or as inoperable post-lymphadenectomy locoregional recurrence in 3 (patients 5-7). Microscopic tumour residue detected after lymphadenectomy in 4 patients was also an indication to apply radiotherapy.…”

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 decades, the management of penile carcinoma patients with impalpable regional lymph nodes has improved due to better knowledge of risks for metastases, the introduction of modified lymphadenectomy, and sentinel node biopsy. Future perspectives in penile cancer comprises continuing research to reduce mutilation without jeopardizing clinical outcome.

“…Poor hygiene conditions and the presence of phimosis are predisposing factors to smegma retention at the preputial cavity level and facilitate the irritant action of Mycobacterium smegmatis. This germ seems to be responsible for the chronic and irritant phenomena promoting a possible development of penile cancer [2]. The exceptional occurrence of squa- …”
