title: [Carcinoma of the penis: long-term follow-up].
abstract: Penis epidermoid carcinoma is responsible for about 1% of deaths by neoplastic diseases in developed countries. During a 5-10 years follow-up review, we found 14 patients, 9 of which started as localized stages in glans and/or prepuce. Lymph node affection was found in 9 cases, either at beginning of diagnosis or during follow-up. Lymphadenectomy, which demonstrated metastatic affection in 4 cases, was considered indicated in 6 patients. Two cases received inguinal chain radiotherapy and the remaining one underwent chemotherapy as first therapy. Percentage of actual survival rate, found after 5 years, among the 14 patients studied was 42.8% (6 cases), still unchanged after a 10-year follow-up. Five patients died due to their basic illness progression and 3 died of other tumour-unrelated processes. The paper analyzes the results obtained based on the literature reviewed, and discusses current therapy approaches for inguinal metastatic conditions.
