Current NCCN guidelines recommend partial or total penectomy for men with T2 stage or greater penile cancer which has a significant impact on both the sexual and urinary health of men. Previous research has shown that men from racial minority groups have higher age-adjusted incidence of penile cancer and worse mortality rates than Caucasian men. However, it remains unknown if men from various racial minorities in the United States (US) are more likely to present with penile cancer of T2 stage or greater necessitating penectomy. METHODS: A retrospective review of the National Cancer Database (NCDB) Public Benchmark Reports was used to determine the contemporary burden of penile cancer amongst men from racial minority groups in the US. All males diagnosed with penile cancer from 2019-2021 were included in the study. Patients were stratified into two groups of men with T2-stage or greater and those with less than T2-stage penile cancer. Fischer's exact test was used to compare the proportion of Caucasian men with T2-stage or greater penile cancer against men of other races. Alpha was set a priori at .05. All analyses were performed using the R Statistical Software version 4.2.1. RESULTS: A total of 2986 men with penile cancer were identified from the database. Caucasian men made up 72.4% of this cohort, African-American men 9.4%, Hispanic men 15.1%, Asian/Pacific Islanders 2.5%, and Native American men 0.5%. Hispanic men were significantly more likely to present with T2-stage or greater penile cancer compared to Caucasian men (p<.01). There was no significant difference between Caucasian men and African-American men, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American men. CONCLUSIONS: Hispanic men are more likely to present with T2-stage or greater penile cancer compared to Caucasian men.
