WHO 2022 classification of penile and scrotal cancers: updates and evolution

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignant tumour of the penis. The 2022 WHO classification reinforces the 2016 classification and subclassifies precursor lesions and tumours into human papillomavirus (HPV)‐associated and HPV‐independent types.
