Penile Cancer

Penile cancer, or cancer of the penis, is the abnormal and malignant growth of cells in the tissues of the penis. It is uncommon and, as with other types of cancer, its early detection is important for medical follow-up.

Signs that draw attention: Changes in the skin of the penis, sores or lesions that do not heal, thickening, changes in color, or persistent discharge.

When to see a doctor? In the face of any lesion, lump, or change that does not go away in the genital area, it is prudent to seek an evaluation without postponing it.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the professional who evaluates this condition, and the oncologist participates in the approach depending on each case. Noticing and reporting any change to a specialist in time is the best way to clear up doubts and receive the appropriate guidance for your health.
