Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 4748: Evaluation of Prognostic Parameters to Identify Aggressive Penile Carcinomas
Conclusion: Lymphatic involvement has the highest impact on prognosis in penile cancer, whereas HPV status alone is not suitable as a prognostic parameter. The pT1b stage, which includes grading, as well as lymphovascular and perineural invasion in the T stage, seems questionable; a revision of the TNM classification is therefore required.

Comorbidity in patients with Lichen sclerosus: a retrospective cohort study
This study confirmed the association between LS and vulvar cancer (OR = 17.4; 95% CI 12.1-25.3), penis cancer (OR = 9.1; 95% CI 4.3-18.9), prostate cancer (OR = 2.0; 95% CI 1.6-2.4) and breast cancer (OR = 1.6; 95% CI 1.4-1.8). LS was also associated with Crohn´s disease (OR = 2.0; 95% CI 1.6-2.6) and diabetes mellitus type 1 (OR = 1.9; 95% CI 1.6-2.1). The present study revealed novel important data regarding the association of LS with cancer and autoimmune diseases, emphasising the importance of sufficient treatment and follow-up of patients with LS. However, future studies are needed to confirm these results and the po...

Acantholytic Squamous Cell Carcinoma: a Diagnostic Pitfall on Cytology
AbstractAcantholytic squamous cell carcinoma is an infrequent subtype of squamous cell carcinoma. This tumour variant being rare in itself has been rarely described at the penile location, thus leading to a limitation on information of pathological and immunohistochemical findings and prognosis. Clinical observations indicate an aggressive biologic behaviour. The cytological features on fine-needle aspiration cytology samples have rarely been described in literature. It is imperative for pathologists to be aware of the cytological features so as to allow the distinction of this variant from conventional squamous carcinoma....

Treatment of penoscrotal basal cell carcinoma – an institutional retrospective review
We examined all penoscrotal BCC at a single institution over an 18-year period. A total of 7 cases were identified, 5 scrotal and 2 penile. Four cases (57%) were treated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and 3 cases (43%) with conventional excision. A prior retrospective review of vulvar BCC at our institution during the same time period showed that MMS was utilized in 4 (11%) of 35 cases. Functional preservation is vital when performing surgery on the genitals and tissue-sparing MMS provides optimal tumor clearance and outcomes for both males and females.

Evaluation of programmed cell death ligand 1 expression in a contemporary cohort of penile squamous cell carcinoma and its correlation with clinicopathologic and survival parameters: A study of 134 patients
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, PD-L1 expression is associated with high-grade and metastatic tumors. Lower PD-L1 expression is observed more frequently in HPV-associated (warty or basaloid) subtypes than in other, predominantly HPV-independent types. As a result, PD-L1 positivity, including higher expression, portends lower overall and cancer-specific survival. These data provide a rational for further investigating PD-L1-based immunotherapeutics in PC.PMID:37639681 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad107 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 4261: Long-Term Periodic and Conditional Survival Trends in Prostate, Testicular, and Penile Cancers in the Nordic Countries, Marking Timing of Improvements
Hemminki Survival studies are important tools for cancer control, but long-term survival data on high-quality cancer registries are lacking for all cancers, including prostate (PC), testicular (TC), and penile cancers. Using generalized additive models and data from the NORDCAN database, we analyzed 1- and 5-year relative survival for these cancers in Denmark (DK), Finland (FI), Norway (NO), and Sweden (SE) over a 50-year period (1971–2020). We additionally estimated conditional 5/1-year survival for patients who survived the 1st year after diagnosis. Survival improved early for TC, and 5-year survival re...
