Penile & Urethral Cancers

Partial penectomy with reconstruction using a split-thickness skin graft: a multicenter experience.

Penile cancer is a relatively rare neoplasm in developed countries, with the majority of newly diagnosed cases presenting as organ-confined, with a 5-year survival rate of 90%. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the impact of penile tumor resection on sexual and urinary function.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Genotypes in Mixed Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Penis: A Study of 101 Tumors.

Squamous cell carcinomas with two or more coexisting clearly different histological subtypes of penile carcinomas are designated as mixed carcinomas in current classification models. They represent about 10% of all penile carcinomas.

Proposal of a Subclassification of pN3 in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Penis.

To evaluate the differential prognosis of PLNM as compared to ENE and postulate a sub-classification of the pN3 stage of carcinoma penis.

A retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained data of all the patients of penile squamous cell carcinoma operated at our institute between Jan 2016 and May 2023 was conducted.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in Penile Cancer in Thailand.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are important etiological factors for several cancers. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of HPV and EBV infection in penile cancer.

New masculinities in uro-oncology: A social theory that contributes to the mental health of patients with penile cancer.

Sociocultural, the penis has represented an essential element in the identity and masculinity of Western men. Therefore, its injury, damage, or loss leads to psychosocial problems affecting these people's health and well-being.

Switching cisplatin to carboplatin in chemotherapy for metastatic penile cancer in a patient intolerant to cisplatin.

Cisplatin is currently the key drug in the chemotherapy regimen for metastatic penile cancer. There are few reports of alternative medicines for patients who cannot tolerate cisplatin. This report describes a case in which carboplatin was used instead.

Human papillomavirus infection affects the immune microenvironment and antigen presentation in penile cancer.

Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is a largely neglected condition, predominantly affecting underdeveloped regions, and is associated with risk factors such as low socioeconomic status, phimosis, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

Elevated Microsatellite Alterations at Selected Tetranucleotide Repeats (EMAST) in Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma-No Evidence for a Role in Carcinogenesis.

Penile squamous cell carcinoma (pSCC) is a rare malignancy with a global incidence ranging from 0.1 to 0.7 per 100,000 males. Prognosis is generally favorable for localized tumors, but metastatic pSCC remains challenging, with low survival rates.

Impact of sarcopenia and fat distribution on outcomes in penile cancer.

Sarcopenia, defined as age-associated loss of skeletal muscle function and muscle mass, is a negative prognostic marker for survival in several tumor entities. However, data evaluating the impact of sarcopenia and fat distribution on penile cancer are rarely described.

The impact of diagnosis and treatment of penile cancer on intimacy: a qualitative assessment.

Penile cancer is a rare malignancy (0.5-0.93/100,000 in Western countries) with significant psychosocial and sexual repercussions. This qualitative study explored the impact of penile cancer diagnosis and treatment on intimacy.
