Objective: Maranhão State-Northeast Brazil-has the world's highest incidence of penile cancer. This study describes the epidemiological, histopathological and clinical profile of patients stricken across that Brazilian state. The study is aimed at providing new data on neoplasia.
Data Description: 402 men stricken with penile cancer were studied from January 2004 to December 2018. A retrospective stage was developed with collection of physical and electronic records. A prospective stage was performed with collection of clinical and epidemiological information through a questionnaire. The surgical material was looked into by a uropathologist, and the lesions were evaluated for macroscopic characteristics and various microscopic parameters. Three articles using this data have already been published.

Both women and men are now confronted with the grave threat of cancers caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is estimated that 80% of women may encounter HPV over their lives. In the preponderance of cases involving anal, head and neck, oral, oropharyngeal, penile, vaginal, vulvar, and cervical malignancies, high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) is the causative agent.

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.
