[Life expectancy in penile carcinoma (statistical evaluation of 150 penile carcinomas in the period 1912-1970)].
In the period 1912-1970 in the Göttingen area, 150 patients suffering from penis carcinoma were investigated and/or treated. With regard to method of treatment, three periods can be distinguished: 1912-1930, 1931-1948, and 1949-1970. During the first period, treatment was chiefly radiotherapy, in the second chiefly surgery, and in the third combined radiotherapy and surgery. Independent of the type of therapy and period of observation, the 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates were 52.5%, 46.7%, and 31.4%, respectively. The greatest life expectancy was that following combined surgical and high-voltage therapy. The importance of lymphography is emphasized.
