Penile cancer is a rare type of cancer that develops in the skin or tissues of the penis. Although uncommon, early diagnosis and treatment are essential for achieving the best outcomes. Penile cancer often begins as changes in the skin of the penis and can spread to nearby tissues and lymph nodes if left untreated.
Symptoms of Penile Cancer
The signs and symptoms of penile cancer may include:
A growth, lump, or sore on the penis
Changes in the color or thickness of the penile skin
Persistent redness, irritation, or rash
Foul-smelling discharge beneath the foreskin
Bleeding from the penis
Pain or tenderness in the affected area
Swelling in the groin due to enlarged lymph nodes
Any unusual changes in the penis that do not heal should be evaluated by a urologist.
Risk Factors
Several factors may increase the risk of developing penile cancer, including:
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection
Poor genital hygiene
Smoking
Phimosis (tight foreskin)
Chronic inflammation or infections
Increasing age
Diagnosis & Evaluation
Early and accurate diagnosis is important for successful treatment. Evaluation may include:
Physical examination
Medical history assessment
Biopsy of the affected tissue
Ultrasound or imaging studies
CT Scan or MRI when required
Assessment of nearby lymph nodes
These tests help determine the stage and extent of the disease.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the size, location, and stage of the cancer.
