  According to NIH, one of the countries with the highest incidence of penile cancer in the world is India, with rates up to 3.32 per 100,000 men in some regions. […] The rarity of penile cancer emphasizes the need for heightened awareness and education about the disease. By understanding its nature, we empower ourselves to take proactive steps towards prevention and early detection. […] In the realm of penile cancer prevention and early detection, certain groups of individuals should maintain heightened vigilance due to increased risk factors. […] Uncircumcised men face a slightly higher risk of developing penile cancer compared to their circumcised counterparts. […] Individuals with a history of known risk factors, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, smoking, poor hygiene, or phimosis, should maintain heightened vigilance.

• #4 Can Penile Cancer Be Prevented? | American Cancer Society

  https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/penile-cancer/causes-risks-prevention/prevention.html

  The large variations in penile cancer rates throughout the world suggest that many penile cancers can be prevented. The best way to reduce the risk of penile cancer is to avoid known risk factors. […] In the past, circumcision (removing the foreskin on the penis) was suggested as a way to lower penile cancer risk. […] Still, some experts have said that circumcision prevents penile cancer. […] Men who arent circumcised can help lower their risk of penile cancer by practicing good genital hygiene. […] Perhaps the most important factor in preventing penile cancer in uncircumcised men is good genital hygiene. […] Tobacco use also increases penile cancer risk, so not using any form of tobacco might lower that risk. Quitting tobacco or never starting to use it in the first place is a good way to reduce your risk of many diseases, including penile cancer.

  The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is linked to a variety of cancers, including penile cancer. Vaccination against HPV is a powerful tool in preventing cancer. The HPV vaccine is recommended for boys and girls. It is ideally administered before they become sexually active to maximize its protective effects against the high-risk strains of the virus known to cause cancer. For men, receiving the HPV vaccine can significantly reduce the risk of penile cancer by preventing the initial viral infection that can lead to cellular changes in the penis. Embracing HPV vaccination is a forward step in cancer prevention, safeguarding not only individual health but also contributing to the overall reduction of HPV-related cancers in the population. […] Some experts believe that circumcising baby boys might help protect them from getting penile cancer when they grow up. Studies have shown that men who were circumcised as babies have a lower chance of getting penile cancer later in life compared to men who weren’t circumcised. However, getting circumcised as an adult doesn’t seem to lower the risk as much.

[…] If you want to decrease your risk of developing penile cancer, and you weren’t circumcised at birth, it’s possible to get circumcised as an adult. […] Regardless of whether you’re circumcised or not, it’s important to practice good penile hygiene and sex with a condom or other barrier method. This will help prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other reproductive health conditions. […] HPV is associated with the development of penile cancer in up to 80% of cases. […] You could lower your chances of getting HPV by getting vaccinated against HPV, having sex with a condom or other barrier method, getting tested for STIs with your partner before having sex.

  Maintaining good genital hygiene is another way to reduce the risk of penile cancer. Regular washing of the penis and the foreskin for uncircumcised men helps to prevent the build-up of smegma. This substance can cause irritation and inflammation of the penile tissues, potentially increasing the risk of cancer. Good hygiene practices are simple yet effective measures that men can incorporate into their daily routines that offer a layer of protection against the development of penile cancer. […] Stopping the use of tobacco products is a preventative strategy against numerous health conditions, including penile cancer. Using tobacco, whether by smoking or chewing, significantly raises the risk of developing penile cancer. Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term benefits for cancer prevention. Within hours of stopping, the body begins to repair the damage caused by smoking. Long-term, the risks of cancer continue to decrease. For penile cancer, the carcinogenic effects of tobacco can be significantly mitigated by cessation, potentially reducing the risk of developing this type of cancer.

  The HPV vaccine has been shown to reduce the transmission of HPV infection thus reducing the risk of cervical cancer in female and precancerous anal lesions in men. […] It is postulated that the HPV vaccine could provide some protection against penile cancer in men by preventing the transmission of HPV infection. […] However, in the context of SSA, neonatal circumcision seems the most cost-effective option. […] HPV vaccination may not be cost-effective for most regions in SSA therefore, neonatal circumcision might be the best advocated alternative for prevention.

  Penile cancer is a rare malignancy with prevalence higher in areas of high Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) such as Africa, Asia and South America. […] In middle- and low-income countries where circumcision is not routinely practiced, the rate of penile cancer could be ten times higher. […] Therefore, early childhood circumcision might be the best advocated alternative for prevention. […] The association between the lack of circumcision and penile cancer have been well established from several studies. […] A meta-analysis of 7 case control studies showed a strong protective effect of childhood circumcision against invasive penile cancer (OR=0.33; 95% CI 0.130.83). […] It can be deduced that circumcision thus eliminates the risk of phimosis that could cause penile cancer. […] Some regions are now suggesting routine neonatal circumcision as means to reduce the risk of penile cancer.

[…] The lack of circumcision is a well-accepted risk factor for penile cancer. In fact, it provides a virtually absolute protection against the disease when performed in the neonatal period. […] The protective mechanisms of circumcision are thought to be owed to improved hygiene, decreased risk of HPV and HIV transmission, as well as reduced chronic inflammation and balanitis.

  The large variations in penile cancer rates throughout the world suggest that many penile cancers can be prevented. The best way to reduce the risk of penile cancer is to avoid known risk factors. […] In the past, circumcision (removing the foreskin on the penis) was suggested as a way to lower penile cancer risk. […] Still, some experts have said that circumcision prevents penile cancer. […] Men who arent circumcised can help lower their risk of penile cancer by practicing good genital hygiene. […] Perhaps the most important factor in preventing penile cancer in uncircumcised men is good genital hygiene. […] Tobacco use also increases penile cancer risk, so not using any form of tobacco might lower that risk.
