Squamous penile cancer may be localized to the phallus, metastatic to regional lymph nodes, or metastatic to distant lymph nodes or other organs. In the clinical situation of regional lymph node metastasis, a multimodality approach can have a big impact on outcomes.

We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of brachytherapy and penectomy in patients with penile cancer. We searched the published articles in the PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases up to March 20, 2017.

Inguinal lymphadenectomy (I-LND) remains underutilized in patients with invasive penile cancer. Using a large national cancer registry, we assessed temporal trends in I-LND utilization and evaluated the impact of I-LND on the survival in patients in whom I-LND is an absolute indication per NCCN guidelines (T1b-4 N0/x-1).

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy represents a well-established diagnostic tool for the assessment of lymphatic metastasis. Correct pre- and intraoperative visualization of SLN is of the utmost importance to ensure the safety and feasibility of the procedure.

Penile cancer is a rare and potentially disfiguring disease. There are multiple treatment options for primary penile lesions. Penile sparing approaches offer an attractive option as they can provide several quality of life benefits without detrimental oncologic outcomes.

To examine the possible prognostic factors in patients with penile cancer after surgical management and to identify the independent predictive factors of the prognosis.

Clinical data of 135 patients with penile cancer who underwent surgical management in two medical centers were collected.

To evaluate the oncological and functional outcomes of patients diagnosed with penile cancer undergoing conservative treatment through thulium-yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Tm:YAG) laser ablation.

Twenty-six patients with a penile lesion underwent ablation with a RevoLix 200 W continuous-wave laser.

To evaluate the usage of surgical staging of inguinal lymph nodes (SSILNs) in the United States for intermediate to high-risk, clinically localized penile squamous cell cancer (SCC), to explore patient and hospital factors associated with omission of this staging, and to evaluate the effect on survival.
