Abstract:
275 penile cancers were recorded for history of phymosis. Among these, 92.4% are without this history. However, the delay in circumcision related to risk of penile cancer later. The rate of advanced penile cancer in patients with history of phymosis is higher than that of patients without this history. Therefore, it is important to educate on circumcision for the children with phymosis before they gain puberty.
