Abstract
A five‐year follow‐up of 133 patients treated surgically for carcinoma of the penis shows a 69% survival if the lymph nodes are not involved, and 33% survival if the lymph nodes arc involved. Clinically, in patients with operable disease, it is not possible to determine with accuracy whether the lymph nodes are invaded by tumour. The prognosis is not affected significantly by anaplasia of the growth, but is related to clinico‐pathological spread. Local complications are recurrence, urethral stenosis, delayed wound healing of the groin dissection and lymphœdema.
