What Is Penile Cancer?

It can be treated, especially if it’s found in the earlier stages.

There are several types of penile cancer:
Squamous cell: This makes 95% of penile cancer cases. It usually starts at the penile skin/glans Sarcoma: In this case, cancers form in tissues like muscle, blood vessels, and fat. Melanoma: This cancer starts in the cells that give skin color. (Melanocytes) Basal cell carcinoma: These cancers start deeper in the skin. They grow slowly but they won't spread to other areas of your body.
Cancer Causes and Risk Factors
·        The most common causes of Penile Cancer are
·        Using tobacco products.
·        Having poor personal hygiene.
·        Weakened immune system because of HIV or AIDS
Symptoms of Penile Cancer
Change in penis skin is the most common symptom of penile cancer. They can show up on the foreskin of men, on the penis tip or on the shaft.
·        A lump on your penis and under the skin
·        Change in skin thickness or color
·        Swelling at the end of your penis
·        A rash or small crusty bumps on your penis; it can look like an unhealed scab (or) Non-healing penile ulcer.

Penile Cancer Diagnosis
Firstly the physical exam is done to test whether you have the signs of penile cancer
Biopsy: The doctor takes a small sample of tissue from the skin on your penis to test whether it’s a cancer cell. Imaging tests, CT scans, and MRI. These look inside your body for tumors or other signs that cancer has spread.

Penile Cancer Treatment
Choices to treat the penile tumor usually include wide local excision portal penectomy (removal of the cancerous part of the penis).
In late sages – Total Penectomy may be individualized.
Penile cancer usually spreads to groin nodes.
Hence is indicated, these nodes to be dissected.
Ulcers are stages – the patient might require chemo/radiotherapy.

Conclusion
Penile cancer is curable in all early stages with appropriate treatment, but its prognosis depends crucially on the proper management of the regional lymph nodes.
