What is Penile Cancer Naples?

Penile cancer is rare in the United States but finding it early is critical.

The following information can help you spot signs of the tumor long before it’s life threatening as well as provide next steps if you have discovered you have penile cancer.

Symptoms of Penile Cancer
Again, the earlier its found the better and greater chance of successful treatment and cure.  Treatment for more advanced cancer may be less successful and more disfiguring.

Many of these signs are bacterial or fungal infections, or even allergic reactions and not necessarily cancer. These often respond to antibacterial or antifungal topical treatments. Sores that don’t heal or return must be thought of as cancer unless tested and verified to be otherwise.

Unfortunately because many patients are reluctant or embarrased to talk about their genitals, penile cancer is often ignored until it’s advanced.

Causes

Penile tumors are thought to be caused by body fluids that get trapped in the foreskin if they aren’t washed away on a routine basis; thus potentially causing cancer.

Other conditions such as smoking, AIDS and HPV can contribute to cancer.

Men who practice good genital hygiene and are circumcised are much less likely to get penile cancer.

Treatment

If penile cancer is found early, it can be treated successfully and low risk. Early detection is very important. It not only ensures better results, but offers significantly more treatment options.
