ABSTRACT = {Penile cancer remains a formidable challenge in many developing countries because of its high incidence and the advanced disease stage at diagnosis.<br/>
For early penile cancer, surgery alone offers a high cure rate. Penile sparing therapies are proposed as alternative treatment options for select patients with the added advantages of preservation of body image and improved quality of life.<br/>
The optimal management of lymph node disease remains controversial. The role of the sentinel lymph node biopsy, lymphatic mapping, prophylactic lymphadenectomy and the template for lymph node dissection are discussed.<br/>
For advanced, metastatic penile cancer, more effectiveand less toxic chemotherapy is needed. This may be coupled with palliative surgery or radiotherapy for the primary tumor and inguinal disease.},
