The current study provides essential initial data regarding the presentation and clinical outcomes of PSCC patients. Notably, non-cancer disease, especially circulatory system disease, is the more common cause of death than PSCC. However, the proportion of patients who died of penile squamous cell carcinoma has a relatively significant increase in recent years. The increasing trends in the advanced stage of PSCC patients might account for this change.
