Abstract

Our knowledge of penile cancer and its treatment has advanced greatly over the last decade. The advent and development of new penile preserving treatments have achieved a better balance between excellent, reliable oncological control, and a good cosmetic and functional result. It has substantially reduced the impact of the disease and its treatment on the majority of patients presenting with amenable lesions. Treatment in specialised centres well versed, with the full range of different reconstructive techniques ensures the best treatment outcomes.
