Abstract
This disease has an incidence of 4.32 cases per 100,000 male population in Puerto Rico, being maximum in the eighty- to eighty-four-year age group (66.3 cases per 100,000 men). Surgery has been the treatment of choice, with a five-year survival of 50.8 per cent (93 out of 183 cases). Radiation therapy was employed for small superficial lesions, for post-surgical persistence, or in combination with surgery, in 25 cases, with a five-year survival in 16 (64 per cent). The main contribution of radiation therapy is to spare amputation in young men; 17% of the patients in this series were younger than forty years.
