Two tertier hospital in Jakarta reporting an escalation in the average penile cancer patients from 1,8 to 6,2 per year in the last 16 years (1988-2005). The incidence of regional lymph node metastases was affected by the tumour grading. Only 2 out of 47 cases (4%) in Tis or Ta, 5 out of 73 cases in pT1 (G1/G1-2) and 9 out of 24 cases (38%) in pT1 (G2). 59% inguinal metastase was discovered in pT2. 5 years survival rate was 95% in negative lymphatic nodes, 76% in positive lymphatic node and 0% when pelvic metastatic was found.This study provides information about recent treatments for lymph node metastase in penile squamus cell carcinoma (SCC).
