Penile Cancer

Question: What are all the symptoms of Penile Cancer and what age usually has it? Can a 13 yr old get penile cancer? What are the chances? What if there are small s near or in the glans? Is that a symptom?

Answer: Usually it is a non-healing sore often with a foul smelling discharge on the glans. The average age of onset is about 60 years-old. EDIT: Penile cancer is pretty rare and the chances of 13 year old having it is slim to none and no you do not have symptoms of it. Cancer should not be the first thing that comes to mind for every little bump, lump, pain, scratch or sore. If it doesn’t go away in a week or two, tell your mom and don’t pick at it.

Question: I have a friend with testicular and penile cancer, should I allow him to go to church?

"A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD." Deuteronomy 23:2 He wants to go to church so that the divine God will hear his plea and cure his affliction. What do I do?

Answer: Let him make his own choice. This could possibly be the strangest question I'll see today.

Question: penile cancer what is it? what produce penile cancer how long till the penis has to be amputated?

Answer: Penile cancer is one of the rarest cancers - rarer even than breast cancer in men - and figures for it are hard to come by. Circumcised men get penile cancer at about the same tiny rate as intact men. Early studies that seemed to show a correlation had not been corrected for age; penile cancer is a disease of old men, and the old men with cancer in the studies had simply been born at a time when circumcision was less customary than when the younger men without cancer were born. When men of the same ages were compared, the correlation vanished. The exact cause is unknown. Smegma, a cheese-like, foul-smelling substance found under the foreskin of the penis may increase the risk of penis cancer. Uncircumcised men who do not keep the area under the foreskin clean and men with a history of genital warts or human papillomavirus (HPV) are at higher risk for this rare disorder. aboout the amputated part..It has to go undiagnosed for a while before it gets amputated.....But if you catch it semi-early only portions of it has to be surgically removed.... Penile cancer has four stages: Stage 0 (carcinoma in situ) In stage 0, abnormal cells are found on the surface of the skin of the penis. These abnormal cells may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. Stage 0 is also called carcinoma in situ. Stage I In stage I, cancer has formed and spread to connective tissue just under the skin of the penis. Stage II In stage II, cancer has spread to: * connective tissue just under the skin of the penis and to one lymph node in the groin; or * erectile tissue (spongy tissue that fills with blood to make an erection) and may have spread to one lymph node in the groin. Stage III In stage III, cancer has spread to: * connective tissue or erectile tissue of the penis and to more than one lymph node on one or both sides of the groin; or * the urethra or prostate, and may have spread to one or more lymph nodes on one or both sides of the groin. Stage IV In stage IV, cancer has spread: * to tissues near the penis and may have spread to lymph nodes in the groin or pelvis; or * anywhere in or near the penis and to one or more lymph nodes deep in the pelvis or groin; or * to distant parts of the body. Recurrent penile cancer Recurrent penile cancer is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. The cancer may come back in the penis or in other parts of the body.

Question: If phimosis is cured by circumcison, what is the risk of getting penile cancer?

Answer: penile cancer studies related to circumcision have long been debunked or are no longer medically relevant. the american cancer society has been against circumcising for the reason of cancer as the risks from circumcision s are about equal to cancer except the damage of circumcision lasts for the majority of life when cancer has no chance of showing up till your 60 phimosis can be cured much less intensively, circumcision as a cure for phimosis is like removing a toe for an ingrown toenail

Question: what type of penile cancer are there? are they treatable?

Answer: The most common type of penile cancer is squamous cell carcinoma. The carcinoma can be on the surface or skin, or it can be invasive and spred. Because the diagnosis can be pyscologically damaging a patient with penile cancer often delays seeking medical attention until the disease has metastisized. Penile cancers can begin as small lesions on the glans or prepuce. Left untreated it can spred across the skin. Untreated penile carcinoma is fatal within 2 years due infection or to spred to the lymph nodes. This type of cancer can initially be painless with no warning signs other than the appearance of lesions. Treatment options depend on the stage of the disease and can include topical medications, chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery. Like all other cancers, the earlier the diagnosis and treatment the better the outcome. Carcinoma is not the only type of penile cancer, there are a variety of others that can be classified as benign or pre-cancerous. Only an examination by a physician and biopsy can tell the difference. It is critical to seek out a medical opinion immediately if you are in doubt. Better safe than sorry. Hope this isn't happening to you.

Answer: No, it is neither the cause of a symptom of cancer. It is normal. We have veins all over our bodies and if he didn’t have any there THAT would be a cause to freak out.
