Penile Cancer
Penile cancer is a rare type of cancer that affects the tissues of the penis.
It typically starts in the cells of the skin or glands of the penis and may spread to other parts of the body if left untreated.
Penile cancer can have significant physical and emotional impacts, but early detection and treatment can improve outcomes.

Diagnosis
– Diagnosis of penile cancer typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests.
– Common diagnostic tests for penile cancer include a biopsy, in which a small sample of tissue is taken from the penis and examined under a microscope to check for cancerous cells.
– Imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI may be performed to determine the extent of the cancer and whether it has spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs.
