Textbook of Penile Cancer
α’αααΈααααα βα’αα‘α·α ααααΌαα·αααα
The surgical management of penile cancer is shifting towards increasingly refined methods, as it is believed that a proportion of patients undergo overtreatment for the disease. Where traditionally the management of penile cancer has involved partial or total penectomy combined with radical inguinal lymphadenectomy, over the last few years the treatment involves conservative penile reconstructive surgery such that sexual function and phallic length is preserved. Furthermore, the increasing utilization of sentinel lymph node biopsy rather than radical inguinal lymphadenectomy prevents the unnecessary removal of lymph nodes in patients where lymph node metastases has not occurred. There is also likely to be a change in the role of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for advanced disease.
Textbook of Penile Cancer covers the epidemiology, molecular biology, radiological imaging, as well as the latest surgical advances in the treatment of this disease. This book is a valuable reference tool for Urological Surgeons, Genitourinary Physicians, Trainee Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons, Oncologists, Dermatologists and Sexual Health Physicians.

Simon Horenblas MD, PhD., FEBU
Simon Horenblas trained as a urological surgeon in The Netherlands and was appointed at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in 1988. He became chief of the department of urology in 1993 and professor of urologic oncology in 2000.
His clinical work focussed solely in the field of uro-oncology. His research has centred around tissue preservation and early detection of metastases.He has been at the forefront of developing sentinel lymph node biopsy in urologic cancers, bladder preservation and prostate sparing cystectomy. He has authored more than 150 peer reviewed papers and has written a number of chapters in oncology textbooks. He is a keen ice skater, snowboarder, and alpinist. Simon is married to Irene and has a daughter and a son.Asif Muneer is a consultant urological surgeon with a specialist interest in andrology and menβs Health.
