Identification and genotyping of human papillomavirus in a Spanish cohort of penile squamous cell carcinomas: Correlation with pathologic subtypes, p16INK4a expression, and prognosis

“…10 Depending on the detection method, geographic area, and tumor type, the infection rates of HPV in PSCC range from 20% to 80%. 1,[11][12][13] A close association between high-risk HPV (hrHPV) infection and p16 INK4a overexpression has repeatedly been reported for several tumors, such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck region and cervical cancer. 14 However, limited data are available regarding p16 INK4a immunodetection in PSCC, its relationship with HPV detection, and its prognostic significance.…”

Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis: therapeutic targeting of the epidermal growth factor receptor

“…In the adult population most patients undergoing this procedure require a period of ureteric stenting with a JJ stent, while the newly formed anastomosis heals. Many published pyeloplasty series report a stenting period of between 3 and 6 weeks [2][3][4]. The present study questions the need for such an extended period of stenting.…”
