Penile cancer is a rare malignancy, with a European-wide annual incidence rate of 1/100 000 males. Approximately one-third of cases are attributable to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. p16 INK4a is a recognized surrogate marker for HPV infection in penile cancer. University Hospital Waterford (UHW) is the national referral center for penile cancer in Ireland. We report the prevalence of HPV infection and histological characteristics of an Irish penile cancer cohort using p16 INK4a as a surrogate marker.
