Abstract

Penile cancer is rare. Penile cancers appear predominantly in non-circumcised men. In addition, the majority of penile cancers are associated with human papillomavirus infection. The present manuscript is concerned with the value of circumcision and HPV vaccination in the prevention of penile cancer.
