Penile cancer has been thought to be a relatively rare malignancy with decreasing incidence in the western world however, concerning recent literature reports have shown increased incidence in the Netherlands, Denmark, and England. Penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for 95% of penile cancers. Thus, this present study analyzed current trends in penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and sought to identify socioeconomic predictors for locally-advanced (pT3/T4) presentation within the United States, between 1998 and 2012, using the National Cancer Data Base, a large, nationwide cancer registry.
