The effects of tumor location on overall survival (OS) and penile carcinoma-specific survival (PCSS) were analyzed using the Kaplan\u2013Meier method.

Although no significant difference was observed between the OS of patients with M0 SCCP in the prepuce or glans and those with M0 SCCP in the body of the penis (p = 0.307), the former had better PCSS (p = 0.024). Moreover, M0 SCCP in the prepuce or glans was also significantly associated with better PCSS in patients with advanced age (age \u2265 60 years, p = 0.011), other ethnicities (p = 0.003), T2\u2013T4 stage (p = 0.036), larger tumors (\u22653 cm, p = 0.001), no regional lymph nodes removed (p = 0.044), and radical surgery (p = 0.027).
