Clobetasol propionate cream X 2-3 months. F/u closely, as SCC still a RF after treatment.

What sets Buscke-Lowenstein tumors apart from condylomata accuminata?

Condylomata accuminata are superficial and never invade/compress adjacent tissues BL tumors displace and destroys adjacent tissue by compression. No malignant activity though, never metastasizes. Basically a larger worse form of condylomata. Associated with HPV 6 and 11.

What is a significant cause of delay in penile cancer management?

Delay in seeking medical attention.

What was the purpose of giving antibiotics when inguinal lymphadenopathy was detected in penile cancer? Why is it no longer advised?

Discern infection from mets. No longer advised because it delays treatment.

How do you treat BL tumors (verrucous carcinoma)?

Excision and cryosurgery. Topical treatment and radiation is ineffective (thick tumor won't allow for penetration of medication) Close f/u needed.

If the SF LN are positive on ILND.

What is the most common type of interstitial brachytherapy used for penile cancer?

Iridium-192

What is extramammary Paget disease?

It is an adenocarcinoma of cutaneous origin. Looks indistinguishable from CIS. Spreads intraepidermally. Invasive EMPD is fairly lethal.

What is the risk of mets with the primary penile tumor being verrucous carcinoma (Ta) or CIS (Tis)?

Little to no risk of mets.

What is a characteristic trait of sarcomas after you resect them?

Local recurrences are common!

What is a common complication of BXO that might require ongoing management?

Meatal stenosis. Manage with serial dilations, steroid injections, or even recon

What is the management for high risk patients (T1b and above, Grade 3-4, or LVI)?

NON-PALP: DSNB, SF ILND PALP: a) Unilateral: ipsilat ILND+PLND, contralateral SF ILND b) Bilat: start bilat SF ILND, go deeper based on frozen

What is the management for low risk patients (Ta, Tis, T1 grade 1)?

NON-PALP: Observation PALP: can give antibiotics, and if persists then FNA/excisional biopsy. ILND if abnormal.

NON-PALP: Observation or nodal staging PALP: FNA, and if positive do ILND. If negative, can give Abx and if still persists do excision bx or proceed to ILND

Is pain a common presenting symptom of penile tumors?

No

Organ sparing for penile cancer is associated with higher recurrence rates than traditional amputation (ie: partial/total penectomy). How is early survival affected?

No difference, as long as recurrences are detected and treated.

Does lymph drainage follow an ipsilateral pattern from the penile lesion?

No, multiple cross connections exist at all nodal levels (drainage is bilateral to both inguinal areas)

Are FNA and sentinel node biopsies recommended anymore? What about DSNB?

No, poor sensitivity (high false negatives). DSNB has better sensitivity but still not ideal.

Do metastases occur commonly with CIS of the penis present?

No, very rare. Usually mets only with presence of actual penile carcinoma.

Should radiation be given as prophylaxis to patients with high risk penile tumors, and non-palp nodes?

No. ILND is still best option. Radiation does not alter natural history of inguinal mets.

Should unilateral ILND be done for unilateral palpable lymphadenopathy?

No. Penile lymphatics have a lot of crossover, so drainage is bilateral. Do contralateral SF ILND.

What is a cutaneous horn? How do you treat?

Overgrowth and hyperkeratosis of any pre-existing lesion, protrudes out. Associated with HPV-16. Treat: exise, negative margin around base, close f/u PIC: horn with underlying SCC

What is Kaposi sarcoma? How does one treat it?

Painful tumor commonly caused by either immunosuppression or HIV. Can also be idiopathic. Treat: excise if idiopathic. If immunosuppression, then reversing immunosuppression causes tumor to regress. Otherwise use radiation or local excision.

Physical exam. Do CT in obese patients on pts with prior inguinal surgery

What is bowenoid papulosis? How to treat? (HINT: this is not quite the same as Bowens disease)

Pigmented lesions, papules. Low malignant potential even though is technically a form of CIS. Treat: 5-FU, excision, or any other ablation (laser, cryo, etc).

What is the most important prognostic factor for survival in patients with SCC of penis?

Presence and extent of inguinal node metastases

What does erythroplasia of Queyrat look like? Microscopically?

Skin necrosis, infections, hemorrhage, sepsis

What is condylomata acuminata? What types of HPV are associated with penile cancer?

Soft papillary HPV lesions on glans, shaft, and prepuce. Keratinized tissue overlying papillary fronds. Themselves are benign, but have been associated with SCC. Types 16 and 18

If chemo achieves a good response in patients with advanced disease, what can be considered as the next step?

White, indurated, sclerotic patches on glans, can involve meatus. Can cause erosions and stenosis. Etiology of BXO is unknown (maybe Borrelia burgdorferi?). Presents: pain, dyspareunia, painful erections

When do most patients with mets to the penis die?

Within 1 year, as mets to the penis usually indicates advanced primary disease.

Was there a big difference between doing early lymphadenectomy (for both non-palp and palpable nodes) and delayed lymphadenectomy (waiting until nodes are palpable)?

Yes! Significant reduction in 5-year survival in the delayed lymphadenectomy group (ie: difficult to salvage patients if you observe them until they are clinically palpable).

Does timing of circumcision affect risk of penile cancer?

Yes. Neonatal circ will bring risk to 0%, whereas adult circumcision (post-puberty) offers no protection.

Is radiation useful for inoperable nodes (bulky, fixed)?

Yes. Used with chemoradiation, may allow for nodal disease to be more amenable to resection.

a) Local excision - highly curative b) Aggressive cancer. Partial/total penile amp, and ILND if melanoma is deep, possible radiation and chemo if advanced or palliative c) SF <2cm sarcoma = local excision; deep sarcoma (corporeal) = partial/total penile amp (no ILND needed) d) Resect skin and dermis, 3cm margin. Rarely invades deep, but need to amp if it does. e) Local excision/amp (exophytic mass), ILND if palp. f) Lymphomatous infiltration of penis, so look for other systemic signs of same disease. Treat with chemo, no surgery. May cause priapism.
