| | Penile Cancer |
 | | Penile cancer is usually treated with a combination of surgery and radiation therapy. | | | In addition, superficial penile cancers that are limited to a small area can be treated with a medication that is applied as a cream directly to the skin of the penis. | | | Radiation therapy may be used to enhance the effects of surgery or as an alternative to surgery. |

| | The disadvantages are that penile cancers are relatively radioresistant and there is a high rate of complications (fistula, stricture, edema, superficial necrosis, and pain). | | | There is also evidence of a relationship between penile cancer and HPV types 16, 18, and 33. | | | Radiation Therapy: The sole advantage of radiation therapy is that it preserves penile anatomic structure. |

| | Penile Cancer, Cervical Cancer and Circumcision Status |
| | The American Cancer Society does not consider routine circumcision to be a valid or effective measure to prevent such [genital] cancers. | | | HPV infection is a necessary condition for cervical cancer. | | | To reduce the risk of penile cancer, men are best advised simply to use reasonable hygiene, practice responsible sexual behavior, and to avoid handling tobacco. |

| | Penile cancer tends to be a disease of older men, with an abrupt increase in incidence in men aged approximately 60 years; incidence peaks in men aged 80 years. | | | Whether or not delays in diagnosis and therapy affect survival is uncertain, but the ability to eliminate the cancer and retain a functioning and cosmetically satisfactory result is affected. | | | The major controversy regarding penile cancer is the indication for inguinal lymphadenectomy. |

| | Doctors may use it to treat advanced cancer or cancer that has come back, usually as part of a clinical trial to improve treatment. | | | The only clear, definite way to distinguish between cancer and non- cancerous growths is to perform a biopsy. | | | However, treatment is usually very successful if the cancer is in its early stages. |

| | Neonatal Circumcision Revisited |
| | For the uncircumcised patients, the analysis included the risks of penile problems (e.g., balanitis, phimosis and paraphimosis), of death from the surgical procedure when performed at a later age, of surgical complications, of UTI, of death from UTI and of penile cancer. | | | In a case-control study conducted in Hunan province in China, where a high rate of death from penile cancer has been documented and early circumcision is not practised, the RR of penile cancer was 32.9 (95% CI 4.3 to 253.8) among subjects who had been circumcised compared with those who had not. | | | Furthermore, the men with penile cancer reported more sexual partners than those without cancer, and the men with tumours associated with HPV also reported more sexual partners than those whose tumours had a negative result of a test for HPV. |
