PURPOSE: We evaluated sociodemographic and economic differences in overall survival (OS) of patients with penile SCC using the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB).
METHODS: We identified 5,412 patients with a diagnosis of penile squamous cell carcinoma from 1998 to 2011 with clinically nonmetastatic disease and available pathologic tumor and nodal staging. OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences were determined using the log-rank test. Cox proportional hazard regression was performed to identify independent predictors of OS.
RESULTS: Estimated median OS was 91.9 months (interquartile range: 25.8-not reached) at median follow-up of 44.7 months (interquartile range: 17.2-81.0). Survival did not change over the study period (P = 0.28). Black patients presented with a higher stage of disease (pT3/T4: 16.6 vs. 13.2%, P = 0.027) and had worse median OS (68.6 vs. 93.7 months, P<0.01). Patients with private insurance and median income≥$63,000 based on zip code presented with a lower stage of disease (pT3/T4: 11.6 vs. 14.7%, P = 0.002 and 12.0 vs. 14.0%, P = 0.042, respectively) and had better median OS (163.2 vs. 70.8 months, P<0.01 and 105.3 vs. 86.4 months, p = 0.001, respectively). On multivariate analysis, black race (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.39, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.21-1.58; P<0.01) was independently associated with worse OS, whereas private insurance (HR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.63-0.98; P = 0.028) and higher median income≥$63,000 (HR = 0.82; 95% CI: 0.72-0.93; P = 0.001) were independently associated with better OS.
CONCLUSIONS: Racial and economic differences in the survival of patients with penile cancer exist. An understanding of these differences may help minimize disparities in cancer care.
