Penile & Urethral Cancers

Penile cancer remains a rare malignancy, and the limited availability of large, clinically detailed datasets continues to challenge efforts to optimize management and improve outcomes. In this context, the Danish National Penile Cancer Database (DaPeCa-data) provides a valuable national resource, offering granular, clinically curated data retrospectively collected from 2000 onwards.

Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) can affect men of any age, but we know little about the differences between non-old and old patients with PSCC, which severely limits the precise diagnosis and treatment of PSCC.

To evaluate the potential value of [18F]F-FAPI PET/CT for detecting inguinal lymph node (ILN) metastases in locally advanced penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) and to compare the results with those of [18F]F-FDG PET/CT.

Background/Objectives: Optimal surgical margin management in penile squamous cell carcinoma remains debated because organ-preserving surgery must balance oncological control with functional preservation.

Background/Objectives: Penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare but aggressive malignancy in which survival declines sharply once regional lymph nodes are involved. Neoadjuvant therapy is recommended for clinically node-positive disease to improve resectability and address micro-metastatic spread; however, the supporting evidence remains limited.

Penile cancer is a rare malignancy, and multicenter data evaluating prognostic biomarkers in the Japanese population are limited. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of pretreatment blood-based biomarkers in patients with penile cancer.

Penile squamous cell carcinoma is an uncommon neoplasm that arises via two carcinogenic pathways, one linked to HPV infection and the other to chronic inflammation and p53 alterations.

We assessed the distribution of HPV genotypes in penile tumors and subsequent inguinal metastases in a cohort of 343 patients, analyzing their concordance with p16 stain and histological subtype, as well as the predictive significance of HPV tumor status and the immunohistochemical expression of p16 and p53 in inguinal lymph node metastasis (ILNM).

Penile cancer is rare, and patients increasingly rely on the internet for health information. On April 1, 2025, we conducted a cross-sectional evaluation of the quality and readability of the top 100 Google search results; 71 websites were included in the analysis.

Metastatic or locally advanced penile cancer (PeCa) has limited systemic treatment options and a 5-year survival rate of ~10% in metastatic disease. Using the in vitro and ex vivo models we preclinically assessed CC-3, a B7-H3xCD3 bispecific antibody (bsAb) currently in a Phase I basket trial (NCT05999396).

To investigate whether there are differences in treatment approaches, including complications according to the volume of treatment experience for penile cancer, and whether such differences affect patient prognosis.
