Penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is quite rare malignant tumor in Europe, but is the most common malignant urological tumour

of men in some developing countries of Asia, Africa and South America. This review article shortly summarize diagnostic and therapeutic

guidelines and also new knowledge and current trends for: etiology (human papillomavirus), diagnosis (onkomarkers, biopsy), staging

(sentinel lymph node biopsy, cytology), prevention (circumcision, vaccination) and treatment (laser, kryotherapy, photodynamic therapy,

lymphadenectomy, systemic therapy) of penile carcinoma.

Keywords: penile cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, human papillomavirus, sentinel lymphnode, biopsy, cytology, oncomarkers, circumcision, vaccination, laser, kryosurgery, lymphadenectomy, chemotherapy.
