Particularly high incidence rates of up to 2.2 are seen in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, largely due to a high prevalence of HPV, lower circumcision rates, and inadequate hygiene standards.The 2022 WHO classification of urogenital tumors continues to differentiate penile carcinomas based on their HPV status; however, the subdivision of numerous subtypes especially of the HPV(+) carcinomas was abandoned. This article aims to present current knowledge on the carcinogenesis of HPV(+) and HPV(-) penile carcinomas and their precursor lesions as well as updates from the latest WHO classification.Approximately 50% of penile carcinomas are caused by infection with high-risk HPV subtypes, with positive p16 immunohistochemistry serving as a good surrogate marker for HPV(+) tumors. HPV(-) carcinomas frequently show TP53 mutations and are associated with a poorer prognosis.While localized penile carcinomas have a relatively good prognosis, survival rates in metastatic cases remain poor. Neither microsatellite instability nor mismatch-repair deficiency appear to play a role, but up to 62.2% of tumors express PD-L1. Currently, immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Avelumab and Ipilimumab, along with antibody-drug conjugates targeting TROP2 and Nectin‑4, are being tested in clinical trials, potentially leading to the approval of targeted therapies for metastatic penile carcinoma in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":74402,"journal":{"name":"Pathologie (Heidelberg, Germany)","volume":" ","pages":"34-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the Federal Republic of Germany, around 400,000 joint endoprostheses, hip and knee joints are currently implanted every year ( https://www.eprd.de/de ) and around 30,000 replacement operations or revisions are carried out. Although there is constant optimization in the various technical and medical sectors of material development, construction, antibiotic therapy strategies, and surgical methodology of surgical joint replacement, factors that reduce service life and a variety of prosthesis-associated pathologies still exist. For implant revisions, the SLIM consensus classification, which is internationally accepted in the scientific literature, should be applied. The revised version of the SLIM consensus classification defines a comprehensive etiological spectrum of local joint endoprosthesis-associated pathologies histopathologically using nine types. In addition, this includes particle characterization and differentiation from endogenous particles. The analysis of the removed explant is the task of technical disciplines. Their mechanical and physical tests can provide information on the cause of the damage. For example, an examination of the fracture surface can determine whether the fracture occurred over a longer period of time (fatigue fracture, sustained fracture) or whether it occurred suddenly (forced fracture). It is therefore important to note that this diagnosis is carried out in an interdisciplinary manner, particularly in the context of peri-implant, mostly bacterial infections, and in the case of primarily functional and material-related causes. This interdisciplinary approach is particularly necessary for complex endoprosthesis pathologies, which require precise causal and technology-based damage analysis. In addition to histopathology, definitive diagnosis is only possible in a clinical-orthopedic, microbiological, laboratory medicine-related, radiological, nuclear medicine-related, material-technical and, in particular, biomechanical-technical context.</p>","PeriodicalId":74402,"journal":{"name":"Pathologie (Heidelberg, Germany)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143069935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
