Secondary tumors of the penis are rare, with 266 cases having been reported. We describe 5 new cases studied by cavernosography. The primary tumors were bladder cancer in 3 patients and prostatic cancer in 2. Cavernosography suggested the diagnosis, which was confirmed by a guided biopsy or fine needle aspiration biopsy. The prognosis has been poor, with the average survival being less than 9 months.

Background: Penile cancer is a rare malignancy treated via various surgical techniques guided by disease stage and grade with current guidelines suggesting partial or total penectomy for those with pT2 or greater. We report a case of a patient with pT2 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis who underwent circumcision with left partial-glansectomy and resection of preputial mass with good oncological control while providing good urinary and sexual function.
Case Description: An 82-year-old male presented to the clinic due to a mass that doubled in size in an 8-month timeframe.

Genitourinary cancers affect over 480,000 patients in the United States annually. While promising therapeutic modalities continue to emerge, notably immune checkpoint inhibitors, molecular targeted therapies, antibody-drug conjugates, and radioligand therapies, these treatments are associated with a spectrum of adverse side-effects, including ophthalmologic toxicities. In this review, we cover the most commonly used antineoplastic agents for the kidneys, bladder, urinary tracts, prostate, testis, and penis, detailing mechanism, indication, and recent trials supporting their use.
