We retrospectively reviewed the records of 35 patients with penile cancer, who had been treated at Gifu University Hospital and its affiliated hospitals between July 1994 and January 2009. The mean values of follow-up periods, ages, serum squamous cell carcinoma levels and maximum diameters of the tumor were 23.7±28.0 months, 72.3±10.5 year-old, 4.5±4.3 ng/ml, and 4.0±2.6 cm, respectively. Systemic chemotherapy and local radiotherapy were performed in six, and three cases, respectively. Ten patients died of penile cancer. By univariate analyses, maximum tumor diameter (＜- 4.3 cmvs ＞4.3 cm), T factor (＜T3 vs ＞- T3) and N factor (＜N2 vs ＞- N2) were significantly associated with cancer-specific survival. The five-year survival of stage N2 cases (28.6%) were significantly lower than that of stage N0 and N1 cases (68.4%) (p＝0.0003). By multivariate analyses N factor (＜N2 vs ＞- N2) was significantly associated with cancer specific survival (p＝0.020). We concluded that the development of effective systemic chemotherapy might be crucial to improve the prognosis of patients with metastatic diseases.

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain penile erection sufficient for intercourse. While previous research suggests a potential link between ED and prostate pathologies, the association between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, prostatic cancer (PCa), and ED remains to be elucidated.
Methods: Data from participants (40-80 years, n=2225) were extracted from the NHANES 2001-2004 for this observational study.

Background: Cavernous nerve injury-induced erectile dysfunction (CNI-ED) is a common complication following radical prostatectomy and severely affects patients' quality of life. The mitochondrial impairment in corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells (CCSMCs) may be an important pathological mechanism of CNI-ED. Previous studies have shown that transplantation of human adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) can alleviate CNI-ED in a rat model.

Background: Penile metastasis originating from prostate cancer is an extremely rare condition, typically associated with a poor prognosis. Therapeutic approaches are not well established and may require individualized adaptation based on clinical assessment. Radiotherapy is commonly utilized to alleviate symptoms.

With a median follow-up of 12 years, the cumulative incidence of SMNs was 17% (95% CI, [15%, 19%]). Most SMNs (n = 543) were non-melanoma skin cancers seen in 208 patients; unfortunately, information on these cancers was not available in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for comparison with such tumors in the general population.
