“…Some authors (Pizzocaro et al, 2010, Bullen et al, 2009) suggest that incidence is higher in areas of South America, Africa and Asia. Robust evidence on aetiology is limited, but risk factors include older age, cigarette smoking, presence of human papillomavirus (HPV), lichen sclerosus, balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO), and phimosis (Blanco-Yarosh, 2007, Pizzocaro et al, 2010, Pow-Sang et al, 2010, Yagnik, 2009). There is a lower incidence of penile cancer in men who have been circumcised as a child, which suggests that this may be a protective factor (Pizzocaro et al, 2010, Pow-Sang et al, 2010.…”

Purpose: Penile cancer is a rare but highly treatable condition. Whilst over 80% survive for over five years, treatment can have a significant impact on quality of life. There has been little research conducted to date on men's experiences of treatment for penile cancer; The Patients Experiences of Penile Cancer study (PEPC) aimed to redress this shortfall by exploring men's experiences of surgical treatment for penile cancer.Method: Data were collected using two methods; an initial narrative oral history followed by a semistructured interview. Maximum variation sampling was used to acquire the widest possible range of experiences. Twenty-seven interviews were conducted with men with an average age of 63 years at diagnosis (range = 41 -82). The data were analysed using constant comparison analysis. Results:The physical impact of surgery was inter-connected with broader events in the lives of the men experiencing treatment. These experiences cover urinary function, sexual function and sexual relationships, healing and recovery, masculinity, mental well-being, coping and support. Conclusions:A key area for the development of care is to devise and evaluate procedures for ensuring that men are well-informed about the extent and potential consequences of their treatment. Men's experiences of penile cancer surgery will be informed by a complex web interlaced with their broader life making it difficult for health professionals to judge how surgery will impact on a men presenting to them. Further research is required to ascertain the most appropriate strategies for rehabilitation of men experiencing penile cancer surgery.

“…Men who smoke > 10 cigarettes a day have a 1.14-fold increased risk when compared to those who do not smoke. In some cultures, such as those in rural Brazilian municipalities, there is a habit of chewing tobacco, a factor that increases the risk of penile cancer by 2.11 times [5,8]. Among the 305 patients analyzed in this study, smoking as a risk factor occupied the 3 rd position, indicating that 53.4% are tobacco users.…”

“…Penile neoplasm is rare in North America and Europe, but its incidence is high and worrisome in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. In the United States of America (USA), the age-standardized incidence rate ranges from 0.3 to 1.8 per 100,000, and in Israel it is 0.1 per 100,000, differing, for instance, from some Brazilian areas, with rates between 1.5 and 3.7 per 100,000 [5,6]; especially in the North and Northeast regions, it even surpasses the cases of prostate and bladder cancer [7,8].…”

Introduction: Penile cancer accounts for 10% to 20% of the male urogenital tumors. In Brazil, the North and Northeast regions have the highest rates.Objective: Analytical, retrospective, and cross-sectional study addressing the profile of individuals with penile neoplasms who have undergone penectomy in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Results: Poor hygiene, smoking, and phimosis were the main risk factors identified. Patients showed epidermoid carcinoma (type I) and metastasis. The early signs and symptoms were tumor and painful ulcer. Methods:

“…The incidence is very low among Jewish populations that commonly practice neonatal circumcision (0.1 per 100,000) [Morris et al, 2011;Pow-Sang et al, 2010]. Typical SCC is the most frequent type of invasive penile cancer, representing about 95% of all cases Pizzocaro et al, 2010).…”
