摘要

<strong>Objective: </strong>To report the diagnostic aspects and the therapeutic difficulties of this disease, to contribute to the prevention and screening of this cancer and propose a diagnostic, therapeutic and psychological management of penile cancer of patients at Bouaké University Hospital Center based on a short series of three (03) observations. <strong>Patients and Method:</strong> Over a period of five years (January 2012 to December 2017), we collected three (03) cases of cancer of the penis. <strong>Results: </strong>A total of three (03) cases of epidermoidal carcinoma of the penis were diagnosed. The average age of the patients is [52 years], all of them of low socio-economic level. Two (02) patients (n = 2) categorically refused surgical treatment (penile amputation) and one (01) patient was lost to follow-up. Two patients are currently deceased. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Penile cancer has been an aggressive tumor with a pejorative prognosis, due to the delay of consultation in our underdeveloped countries. Patients consult late but above all refuse any idea of surgical treatment on the penis. The effort to be made is to insist on the prevention and screening of penile precancerous lesions by an adequate training of urban medical staff by a squad of specialists (urologists, oncologists and dermatologists).
