Penile Cancer

Penile cancer, or cancer of the penis, is a relatively rare cancer that targets the skin and tissues of the penis. Its target’s the good cells in the penis and change them into cancerous, and they develop in huge number i.e. cancers cells begin to grow out of control, forming a tumour, this cancer spreads to each and every part of the body includes glands, lymph nodes and other organs

 

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 colour.

Basal cell carcinoma: These cancers start deeper in the skin. They grow slowly but they won't spread to other areas of your body.
