Case records were reviewed to gather information on demographics, clinical details, histopathology, and treatment outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>As the data was collected retrospectively, no prior sample size estimate was performed. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 27.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The most common presenting symptoms were ulcerative-proliferative growth (60%), pain (50%), dysuria (40%), and lymphedema (40%). The median age of patients in this retrospective study was 56 years (interquartile range: 49.25\u201359.25). Out of the 10 patients included, 9 (90%) had localized or locally advanced disease and underwent primary surgical treatment. Among them, eight patients (80%) had partial penectomy, while one patient (10%) underwent total penectomy. These patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and\/or radiotherapy based on their disease stage. One patient (10%) had metastatic disease at diagnosis and was treated with upfront palliative chemotherapy. Most patients presented with advanced-stage tumors, with 60% having T3\/T4 disease and 90% showing lymph node involvement (N\u2009+\u2009). For those with nonmetastatic disease, the median disease-free survival was 14 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 12.61\u201315.38). Following disease progression, patients were treated with palliative intent, achieving a median PFS of 12 months (95% CI: 11.29\u201312.71) and a median OS of 28 months (95% CI: 24.9\u201331.09). Two patients (20%) experienced grade 3 or higher neutropenia, and one patient had hypothyroidism.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In India, penile cancer is frequently identified at an advanced stage. Patients presenting with recurrent, metastatic, or nodal disease tend to have poor OS, even with optimal palliative systemic therapy. This highlights a significant unmet need for more effective systemic treatment options in this group. Our study underscores the pressing need for region-specific research and improved access to multidisciplinary care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0045-1809352","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,22]],"date-time":"2025-05-22T19:35:23Z","timestamp":1747942523000},"page":"815-819","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Clinical
