Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Penile cancer is a rather rare malignancy and a potentially mutilating disease. Recent years have seen advancements in our understanding of the development of penile cancer, the risk factors associated with its onset, and the clinical and histological precursor lesions linked to this condition. Moreover, conservative and radical treatments can be disfiguring and may have an impact on sexual function, quality of life, social interactions, self-image, and self-esteem.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect original articles, reviews, and meta-analyses from distinguished authors who have practical experience in researching innovations in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of penile cancer.
The specific interests of this Special Issue include the following:
- Epidemiological trends;
- Risk factors;
- Novel biomarkers;
- Sexual function and quality of life post treatment;
- Oncological follow-up.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Sisto Perdonà
Guest Editor
