Micro-Abstract A unique multi-ethnic cohort of 89 penile cancer patients from Southern California were studied. Tumor ( P  = .008), nodal ( P  = .033), and metastasis ( P  < .001) stage, and tumor differentiation ( P  = .010) were associated with survival. American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC...

Description
Summary:Micro-Abstract A unique multi-ethnic cohort of 89 penile cancer patients from Southern California were studied. Tumor ( P  = .008), nodal ( P  = .033), and metastasis ( P  < .001) stage, and tumor differentiation ( P  = .010) were associated with survival. American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) disease stage was independently prognostic ( P  = .035). This population differs from others described from the United States, with a high proportion of national minorities.
