Abstract

Presently there are six clinical staging systems in use for carcinoma of the penis. We propose a method which compares these systems by means of a check list type of format. With the aid of this device, any penile carcinoma can readily be staged in terms of all six systems. Advantages of multiple system staging include comparing series of patients which have been discussed only in terms of a single staging system and selecting the appropriate therapeutic modality in terms of the stage of disease.
