local.description.resumoBACKGROUND: Penile cancer is an uncommon neoplasm, usually found in populations with low income and education. Although about 80% of all cases can be cured, the treatment for this disease has devastating consequences for the patients, and public task has to be taken in order to minimize this health problem. The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiology of penile cancer from two referring hospitals in Minas Gerais state (Brazil). METHODS: From October 2012 to November 2014, 55 patients with penile cancer were evaluated according to age, socioeconomic factors, risk factors and TNM staging. Surgical specimens were reviewed and all tumors histologically classifi edby two experienced pathologists.RESULTS: The epidemiological profi le of penile cancer patients in Minas Gerais state shows that they were on average married, with low education, over 40 years old and mostly did not show any family history. Most patients were smokers, 30% of them presented phimosis and 41.8% were HPV+ patients.CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study offer a good explanation to the reason why penile cancer correlates strongly with precarious socioeconomic conditions. They also suggest that most penile cancer risk factors are preventable ones, and that such neoplasm may have its incidence drastically lowered if the proper educational measures are taken.
