Penile Cancer Kashif Siddiqui, T. McDermott RCSI, March 29, 2004.
Premalignant lesions • 42% of pts with SCC had hx of pre existing penile lesions. (Bouchot etal 1989)
Viral related conditions • Human Papilloma virus (HPV) Types 6,11,42,43 & 44 associated with low grade dysplasia. Types 16,18,31,33,35 & 39 have higher association with malignancy. • Human Herpesvirus 8 (HHV 8)
Buschke-Lowenstein Tumor(Verrucous Carcinoma, Giant Condyloma Acuminatum) • initially described in 1925. • true incidence is unknown. • Does not metastasize rather invades locally. • Treatment is excision. • Recurrence is common. • Topical therapy with Podophyllin, 5FU, radiation and chemotherapy have all been tried with no great success.
Penile Cancer • Squamous cell carcinoma. > 95% • Mesenchymal tumors. < 3% e.g Kaposi sarcoma, angiosarcoma etc • Maligannt Melanoma. • Basal cell carcinoma. • Metastasis. Sufrin & Huben 1991
Carcinoma in situPenile intraepithelial neoplasia, Erythroplasia of Queyrat, Bowen’s disease • can progress to invasive carcinoma. • Histological confirmation with proper determination of invasion. • Treatment Circumcission------------Preputial lesions Local excision------------small & non invasive Radiotherapy Topical 5FU as 5% base Nd:YAG & CO2 laser, liquid nitrogen Kelley etal 1974, Graham & Helwig 1973, Mortimer etal 1983
Invasive carcinoma • Uncommon. • 0.1 – 0.9 per 100,000 in USA, Europe. • Upto 10% in some asian, african and south american countries, (Vatamasapt etal 1995) • Disease of older men, 6th decade, reported in younger men & children. (Narsimharao 1985) • Primary tumor localized to glans (48%), prepuce (21%), both glans & prepuce (9%), coronal (6%), shaft (<2%). (Sufrin & Huben 1991)
Etiology • Circumcission practice. • Hygiene standards. • Phimosis. • No. of sexual partners. • HPV infection. • Exposure to tobacco products. • No convincing association with occupation, gonorrhea, syphillis & alcohol intake. Barrasso etal 1987, Maiche 1992, Maden etal 1993
Prevention • Routine neonatal circumcission. AAP Paediatric guidelines 1999. • Good hygiene practice. • Avoid HPV infection and tobacco.
Natural History • Begins as small lesion, papillary & exophytic or flat & ulcerative. • Flat & ulcerative lesions >5cm and extending >75% of the shaft have higher incidence of metastasis and poor survival. • Pattern in lymphatic spread. • Metastatic nodes cause erosion into vessels, skin necrosis & chronic infection. • Distant metastasis uncommon 1 – 10% • Death within 2 years for most untreated cases.
Presentation • Symptoms malaise, wt loss, fatigue, weakness, hemorrhage, pain. • Signs penile lesion. rarely nodal mass, ulceration, suppuration.
Primary lesion. Regional lymph nodes. Distant metastasis. Physical examination. Ultrasound. MRI. CT. Cavernosography. Lymphangiography. Diagnosis
Diagnosis • Histological diagnosis is absolutely necessary prior to treatment decision. • Growth pattern of SCC superficial spreading. vertical growth. multicentric. verrucous. Cubilla etal 1993
Broders grading system (Ann Surg 1921;73:141) divided into 4 grades depends on differentiation based on keratinization, nuclear pleomorphism, no. of mitosis Maiche system score (Br J Urol 1991;67:522-526) modified into3 grades 5 year survival Grade 1 80% Grade 2,3 50% Grade 4 30% Maiche etal 1991 Grading systems
Staging • Jackson’s staging system, 1966.
Treatment of Penile lesion Penile intraepithelial neoplasia Penis preserving strategy • Laser therapy. • Local excision. • 5 FU cream. • Cryotherapy. • Photodynamic therapy. • 5% topical imiquimod.
Treatment of Penile lesion Ta-1 G1-2 Penis preserving strategy with regular follow up. • Local excision plus reconstruction, recurrence 11-30% • Laser therapy, recurrence 15-25%. • Radiotherapy / Brachytherapy, recurrence 15-25%. • Glansectomy.
Treatment of Penile lesion T1 G3, T ≥ 2 • Partial / total amputation. • Conservative strategy is an alternative in very carefully selected patients.
Treatment of Penile lesion Local recurrence • Second conservative procedure. • Partial / total amputation. • External beam radiotherapy / brachytherapy for lesions < 4cm diameter.
Treatment of regional nodes Non palpable nodes 20% harbour micrometastasis. Low risk pTis, pTaG1-2, pT1G1 • Surveillance. • Occult micrometastasis in < 16.5%. Solsona J Urol 2001;165:1506-1509, Horenblas J Urol 1994;151:1239-1243,Theodoreson 1996 J Urol;155:1626-1631
Treatment of regional nodes Non palpable nodes Intermediate risk T1G2 • Vascular / lymphatic invasion & growth pattern. • Surveillance for superficial pattern & no invasion. • Modified lymphadenectomy in infiltrating growth pattern or invasion. • ? Role of sentinnel node biopsy. Solsona J Urol 2001;165:1506-1509, Horenblas J Urol 1994;151:1239-1243,Theodoreson 1996 J Urol;155:1626-1631
Treatment of regional nodes Non palpable nodes High risk T (2 or G3) • Modified or radical lymphadenectomy. • 70% may have occult metastasis. Solsona J Urol 2001;165:1506-1509, Horenblas J Urol 1994;151:1239-1243,Theodoreson 1996 J Urol;155:1626-1631
Treatment of regional nodes Palpable nodes • Present at diagnosis in 58% patients. • Of these 17-45% have nodal metastasis while remaining have iflammatory disease. Horenblas J Urol 1993;149:492-497, Ornellas J Urol 1994;151:1244-1249
Treatment of regional nodes Positive palpable nodes • Bilateral radical inguinal lymphadenectomy. • Probability of pelvic node involvement 23% , 2-3 nodes +ve & 56%, >3 nodes +ve Culkin J Urol 2003;170:359-365 • Incidence of pelvic nodes ↑ to 30% in 2-3 node group with delayed pelvic lymphadenectomy. Ornellas J Urol 1994;151:1244-1249
Treatment of regional nodes Fixed inguinal mass / clinically +ve pelvic nodes • Chemotherapy, partial / complete clinical response in 21-60%. (Ficarra Int Urol Nephrol 2002;34:245-250, Culkin J Urol 2003;170:359-365, Pizzocaro J Urol 1995;153:246) • Subsequent radical ilioinguinal lymphadenectomy. • Radiotherapy followed by lymphadenectomy but higher morbidity.
Treatment of regional nodes Inguinal palpable nodes during surveillance • Bilateral radical inguinal lymphadenectomy • Inguinal lymphadenectomy at site of +ve nodes in cases of long disease free interval.
Treatment Integrated therapy • In pts presenting with primary tumor and +ve nodes, both issues should be managed simultaneously. • In pts presenting initially with +ve pelvic nodes, induction chemotherapy followed by radical / palliative surgery or DTx is administered according to tumor response.
Treatment Distant metastasis • Chemotherapy. • Palliative therapy.
Treatment Technical aspects • Surgeons experience. • Formal circumcission before radiotherapy. • ~ 2 cm tumor free margin. • Landmarks for RIL include inguinal lig, adductor & sartorius muscle, femoral vessels. • MIL, saphenous vein should be preserved, boundaries 1-2 cm less than radical surgery. • PL includes external iliac & ilio obturator chains with boundaries of iliac bifurcation, ilioinguinal & obturator nerve.
Treatment Technical aspects • Complications of LND. • Sentinnel node biopsy & its limitations. 92% identified, 23 % +ve for tumor. • Various lasers, CO2 0.1cm & NdYAG 0.4cm absorption, local recurrence +/- 25%.
Treatment Quality of Life • Age, performance status. • Socioeconomic factors. • Sexual function. • Patient motivation. • Psychological aspects. • Morbidity of various procedures. • Tumor biology.
Chemotherapy • cis platin +/- 5FU, VMB, CMB. • Adjuvant following RLND, 82% 5 yr survival. Pizzocaro Acta Oncol 1988;27:823-4 • Neo adjuvant, fixed inguinal nodes, 56% resectable & 31% cured. Pizzocaro J Urol 1995;153:246 • Advanced disease, 32% response rate, 12% Rx related deaths. Haas J Urol 1999;161:1823-1825, Kattan Urol 1993;42:559-62
Radiotherapy Primary tumor • EBR, response rate 56%, failure 40%. • Brachytherapy, response rate 70%, failure 16%. • Tumor size < 4 cm. • Complications telengiectasia >90%, meatal stenosis 30%, urethral strictures / fistula 35%, penile necrosis.
Radiotherapy Prophylaxis • NOT recommended. (fails to prevent mets, morbidity, difficult to follow) Neo adjuvant • can render fixed nodes operable. Adjuvant • may be used to reduce local recurrence.
Follow up • Most relapses in first 2 years. • 0-7% chance of relapse after partial / total penectomy. • Development of palpable nodes with non palpable nodes initially means metastasis ~ 100%. • Physical exam, CT & CXR.
