Abstract

Carcinoma of penis has been a significant world health problem especially among people of poorer socioeconomic status. It is one of the first neoplastic diseases described. Even though the exact aetiology of carcinoma of penis is not known early circumcision in Jews and Muslims may account for low incidence in them. Low socioeconomic status and non circumcision are related to higher incidence. This study was undertaken in KIMS, HUBLI during the period November 2005 to October 2006. This study was too small to establish incidence of carcinoma in general population. An epidemiological study in the general population will establish the true incidence of disease. Total 4% incidence was seen in the present study intervention. The highest incidence was observed in the age group 41­50years 33.33% it was found to be statistically significant p  0.0001 followed by 31­40 years 22.22% p0.0221, 51­60years 16.60 p  0.3283 least incidence was found in 21­30years 11.10%  p=0.1608 respectively. IQR range was 36­85 years, Youngest was in 36 yrs old and oldest was 85 years. It was commonly seen in uncircumcised population with prior history of Phimosis, chronic balanoposthitis and poor genital and sexual hygiene. The disease was also noted be common in adult life between 40­60 years. Proper education, early circumcision, better sexual and genital hygiene can prevent causation of the disease.
