Q

Campbell review TRUE statements:

A

Cancer may develop anywehere on the penis
Phimosis may obscure the nature of the lesion
Penetration of Buck fascia and tunica albuginea –> permits invasion of the vascular corpora
Cancer cells reach contralateral inguinal region –> lymphatic cross communications at the base of the penis

Q

Penile cancer initial spread: ___

A

Metastasis initially involves inguinal lymph nodes above the fascia lata

The lymphatics of the prepuce form a connecting network that joins with the lymphatics from the skin of the shaft. These tributaries drain into the superficial inguinal nodes (the nodes external to the fascia lata)

Q

Chemotherapeutic agent with significant pulmonary toxicity

A

Bleomycin

** Response rates of bleomycin, whether as a single agent or in combination with other agents, has not been shown to be superior to cisplatin alone, but has been associated with significant pulmonary toxicity and death in several series of patients treated for metastatic penile cancer.

Q

Most frequent sign of metastatic involvement of the penis: ___

A

Priapism

** The most frequent sign of penile metastasis is priapism; penile swelling, nodularity, and ulceration have also been reported.

23
Q

Bushcke-Lowenstein tumor vs. condyloma acuminatum

A

The Buschke-Löwenstein tumor differs from condyloma acuminatum in that condylomata, regardless of size, always remain superficial and never invade adjacent tissue.

Buschke-Löwenstein tumor displaces, INVADES, and destroys adjacent structures by compression. Aside from this unrestrained local growth, it demonstrates no signs of malignant change on histologic examination and does not metastasize.

24
Q

Treatment for small lesions of erythroplasia of Queyrat

Topical 5% 5-FU

Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser

Local excision

Imiquimod

Standard treatment of choice for condyloma
Imiquimod cream

42
METASTATIC DISEASE
Systemic chemotherapy Cross-sectional imaging of chest/abdomen/pelvis Complete/partial response or stable --> consolidation surgery --> surveillance No response: subsequent line systemic therapy or consider radiotherapy for local control or clinical trial/best supportive care
43
TOPICAL THERAPY
• For patients with Tis or Ta disease: | Imiquimod 5%, apply at night three times per week for 4–16 weeks. 5-FU cream 5%, apply twice daily for 2–6 weeks.
44
LASER THERAPY
selected (clinical stage Tis, Ta, and T1 Grade 1–2) primary penile tumors Application of 3%–5% acetic acid to the potentially affected genital skin can be used to identify suspected sites of human papillomavirus (HPV)-infected skin that turns white upon exposure smoke) evacuator is required during penile laser treatments CO2, Nd:YAG, KTP
45
Wide Local Excision
Early stage penile cancer Margins depend on location: - Shaft = wide local excision, with or without circumcision - Distal prepuce = circumcision alone STSG or FTSG Positive margins = re-resection may be considered Glans resurfacing in highly select patients
46
Mohs Micrographic Surgery
• Mohs surgery is an alternative to wide local excision in select cases. Thin layers of cancerous skin are excised and viewed microscopically until a tissue layer is negative for the tumor. Allows for increased precision, though the success rate declines with higher stage disease. • May be preferable for a small superficial lesion on the proximal shaft to avoid total penectomy for an otherwise fairly low-risk lesion.
47
Penectomy
Standard for high-grade Functional penile stump must be preserved, negative margins must be obtained Partial or total penectomy when invasion into corpora cavernosa is necessary to achieve negative margins INTRAOP FROZEN sections to determine margins
48
Surgical management for inguinal and pelvic LNs
Standard or modified ILND or DSNB is indicated in patients with penile cancer in the absence of palpable inguinal adenopathy if high-risk features for nodal metastasis are seen in the primary penile tumor: Lymphovascular invasion ≥pT1G3 or ≥T2, any grade >50% poorly differentiated • DSNB is only recommended if the treating physician has experience with this modality. • If positive lymph nodes are found on DSNB, ILND is recommended. • PLND should be considered at the time or following ILND in patients with ≥2 positive inguinal nodes on the ipsilateral ILND site or in the presence of extranodal extension on final pathologic review. • A bilateral PLND should be considered either at the time or following ILND in patients with ≥4 positive inguinal nodes (in total among both sides).1
49
NAC prior to ILND or PLND
TIP: paclitaxel, ifosfamide, cisplatin NAC with TIP preferred (prior to ILND) for >= 4 cm ILN if fNA is positive for metastatic penile CA **Patients not eligible to receive TIP and are surgical candidates should undergo surgery without neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
50
Adjuvant chemotherapy after ILND or PLND
Preferred regimen: TIP Other: 5-FU + cisplatin ``` Consider adjuvant EBRT or chemoRT for patients with high-risk features: PLN metastates Extranodal extension Bilateral inguinal LNs involved 4-cm tumor in LNs ```
51
Subsequent-line Systemic Therapy for Metastatic Disease
Preferred: - Clinical trial - Pembrolizumab if unresectable or metastatic microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) Useful in Certain Circumstances - Paclitaxel - Cetuximab
52
Radiosensitizing Agents and Combinations (ChemoRT)
Preferred: - Cisplatin alone or combination with 5-FU - Mitomycin C in combination with 5-FU Oher: - Capecitabine
53
TIP regimen | preferred
