In Denmark we treat Penile Cancer with the intention to cure at two university hospitals.
Our collaborators at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen and our team here in Aarhus follow the same treatment principles and guidelines. We also collaborate on national research projects and collect data continuously to improve care.
We try our best to improve diagnostics, treatment and reduce complications and sequelae.
The objective of research into penile cancer and other penile lesions at the Research Unit at the Department of Urology is to cover most clinical aspects of the disease from precursors to advanced penile cancer with metastases. We work on early detection with molecular medicine methods and try to focus on the patient perspective in collaborative projects with anthropologists and sexologists.
The research unit wishes to contribute significantly to the field of penile cancer research and participate in collaborative endeavours.

In a small retrospective quality project we assessed two different postoperative drain strategies after penile cancer inguinal lymphadenectomy and found better outcomes in a time based regimen (5 days) as compared to a volume based regimen (<10mL). Manuscript under preparation.
