title: Carcinoma of the penis: analysis of 219 cases.
abstract: Carcinoma of the penis is rare in this country. A total of 219 patients diagnosed to have carcinoma of the penis were analyzed retrospectively. The primary penile lesion was treated by partial amputation in 160 patients. Forty-two patients had inguinal node dissection. Forty-six patients received radiation therapy to the inguinal region. Sixty-five per cent of the patients with no palpable nodes at initial diagnosis survived for six or more years. Twenty-eight per cent of the patients with palpable nodes survived for three to five years, and 15% for six or more years. Ten per cent of the patients died of a second primary tumor.
