  • Title: Conservative extirpative treatment of cancer of the penis.
    Author: Bissada NK.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1992 May; 19(2):283-90. PubMed ID: 1574819.
    Abstract:
    Carcinoma in situ, erythroplasia of Queyrat, and Bowen's disease have been managed successfully with a variety of conservative techniques. The management of invasive carcinoma remains controversial. The goal of surgical treatment in these patients is complete excision of the tumor with adequate tumor-free margins. While partial or total penile amputation is necessary for complete eradication of some primary penile tumors, many patients can be managed adequately with optimal preservation of function. Young and reliable patients with well-differentiated tumors are the most suitable candidates for conservative surgical extirpation.
