Penile cancer: ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up
Cet article présente les recommandations de l'"European Society for Medical Oncology" concernant le diagnostic et le traitement d'un cancer du pénis ainsi que le suivi médical des patients
Penile cancer is an uncommon malignancy in Western countries with an incidence of <1 per 100 000 men in Europe and the United States but is more frequent in Africa, Asia and South America and accounts for 10% of all cancers in men in certain areas. Incidence varies according to racial group, ethnicity, and geographical location. Important risk factors include social and cultural habits, and hygienic and religious practices. Penile cancer is rare in circumcised men, particularly if they are circumcised as newborns. Penile cancer in men and cervical cancer in women have a strong correlation with human papilloma virus (HPV) infection [1, 2].
