    Abstract

    Background Penile cancer can cause deformity, loss of function, and even death. Therefore, it is essential to identify penile cancer early in the clinical context and to correctly diagnose the patients. Precise staging is critical for penile cancer because the prognosis and management vary depending on lymph node status, the degree of local disease, and other factors. This study was conducted to investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of penile cancer. Methods This was an observational study of carcinoma penis conducted among 15 patients treated in the surgical units of SUT Academy of Medical Sciences Hospital, Vattappara, Trivandrum, from October 2013 to July 2016. A detailed history with respect to primary symptoms such as swelling or ulceration, discharge, bleeding, etc. was obtained. A history of circumcision, sexual hygiene, and habits was obtained. A thorough general, local and regional lymph node examination was carried out.
