Prevalence of HPV DNA in invasive penile cancer ranges from 33.1% to 47%. HPV-16 has been the most frequent (68.3%), followed by HPV-6 (8.1%) and HPV-18 (6.9%). Positive HPV is described as an independent prognostic factor for cancer-specific survival.<BR>It is not clear why HPV infection has a predilection in specific areas of the genital tract.
