International case series of metastasis to penis.

Objectives: To evaluate clinical characteristics associated with survival in patients with metastases to the penis.

Methods: After approval by the IRB, records of collaborating centres in Leuven, London, Rostock, Amsterdam and Tampa were screened for men presenting with metastatic disease to penis. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify covariables associated with survival.

Corporal Skip Metastases in Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma: An Unknown and Distinct Pattern of Spread with Poor Prognosis.

Background: Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is characterised by stepwise lymphatic dissemination. Skip metastases (SkMs) are rare metastases in the corpus cavernosum or spongiosum without continuity to the primary tumour or its resection site.

Objective: To assess the distinct pattern of spread in SkM patients and the effect of SkM on prognosis.

Predicting Limited Survival Following Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection in Penile Cancer: Should We Revisit the Goals of Care?

Objective: Patients with advanced penile squamous cell cancer have a poor prognosis and can benefit from early palliative care consultation. We built a model to identify those patients most likely to benefit.

Methods: Patients with penile squamous cell cancer undergoing inguinal lymph node dissection were identified from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) and a multi-institutional international dataset (INT).

[Initial presentation of the Pentafecta score as a quality instrument for outcome evaluation of primary surgical treatment in patients with penile cancer].

Background: Recently, the Tetrafecta score has been published as the first instrument for assessing the quality of primary surgical treatment for penile cancer (PECa). An external scientific discussion about the defining criteria is still pending and forms the study objective.

Material And Methods: An international working group consisting of 12 urologists and an oncologist with clinical and academic-scientific expertise in penile cancer was established.

The Goal of Achieving High-Quality Surgical First-Line Therapy in Patients with Penile Cancer Is Important; However, Some Collective Efforts Are Still Required in Order to Reach It. Comment on Brassetti et al. Combined Reporting of Surgical Quality and Cancer Control after Surgical Treatment for Penile Tumors with Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection: The Achievement. 2023, , 1882-1892.

We read with great interest the manuscript by Brassetti et al. recently published in your journal and hope it will encourage discussion and debate around the optimization of the surgical management of patients with penile cancer (PECa) [..
