What is Penile Cancer?

Penile cancer typically begins in the skin or tissues of the penis, most often as squamous cell carcinoma. It may present as:

A lump, sore, or ulcer on the penis
Redness, irritation, or thickened skin
Discharge or foul odor
Swollen lymph nodes in the groin

Early detection and timely surgery are crucial for a complete cure and preserving sexual and urinary function.

Surgical removal of the foreskin for very early-stage cancer confined to the prepuce.

✅ Wide Local Excision

Removal of the tumor and surrounding margin while preserving the rest of the penile structure.

✅ Glans Resurfacing or Partial Penectomy

For more invasive tumors limited to part of the penis; preserves as much normal tissue and function as possible.

✅ Total Penectomy
