Long-term trends in incidence, survival and mortality of primary penile cancer in England.

Purpose: Few population-based studies exist of long-term trends in penile cancer. We report incidence and mortality trends in England over the 31 years 1979-2009 and survival trends over the 40 years 1971-2010.

Methods: We calculated annual incidence and mortality rates per 100,000 by age and calendar period.
