Overview

Textbook of Penile Cancer reports accurately on recent developments in the management of penile cancer, whilst also covering the fundamentals of the disease, to provide a comprehensive, stand-alone and up-to-date volume on the subject. The surgical management of penile cancer is shifting towards increasingly refined methods, as it is believed that a proportion of patients undergo overtreatment. Where traditionally the management of penile cancer has involved partial or total penectomy with inguinal lymphadenectomy, over the last few years the treatment has developed into conservative surgery combined with reconstruction such that sexual function and phallic length is preserved. Furthermore, the increasing utilization of sentinel lymph node biopsy rather than immediate lymphadenectomy is preventing the unnecessary removal of lymph nodes in which lymph node metastasis has not occurred. There is also likely to be a change in the role of chemotherapy for this disease. Textbook of Penile Cancer presents the latest surgical advances and includes discussion on the current controversy on the use of lymphadenectomy in treatment, as well as the emergent practice of sentinel lymph node biopsy. This book is a valuable reference tool for Urological Surgeons, Genitourinary Physicians, Trainee Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons, Oncologists, Dermatologists and Sexual Health Physicians.
