Risk factors for penile cancer include: 1)50 to 70 years of age,2)intact foreskin,3)poor hygiene,4)history of HPV types 16 and 18.Therefore,the 55-year-old sexually active uncircumcised male is at highest t risk for developing penile cancer because of his age and being uncircumcised.The 30-year-old does not belong to the appropriate age group for highest risk.Additionally,because he is circumcised and has HPV type 15,not 16 or 18,these factors put him at a lower risk.The 75-year-old is at risk because of his age,but he is circumcised which lowers his risk.The 40-year-old has no risk factors.
