Penile cancer is a rare cancer in developed nations, with annual incidence varying from 0.3 to 1 per 100,000 per year, accounting for around 0.4–0.6% of all malignancies. [4] The annual incidence is approximately 1 in 100,000 men in the United States, [28] 1 in 250,000 in Australia, [29] and 0.82 per 100,000 in Denmark. [30]
