Diagnosing Penile Cancer

Penile Cancer Treatments and Support

Surgery is a common penile cancer treatment. We use organ preservation techniques whenever possible. Procedures may include removing a small area of skin, part of the penis or the entire penis. If there is a concern the cancer has spread, we take tissue from the nearest lymph node (inguinal lymph node dissection).

If cancer extends past the skin’s surface, you may need additional treatment to stop its progression and prevent it from recurring. Treatments may include nationally recognized radiation oncology or medical oncology services.

Supportive Therapies and Services for Penile Cancer

We offer a broad range of cancer support services to ease your mind and body during penile cancer treatment. Offerings include integrative medicine practices like acupuncture and therapeutic massage. You also have access to help from social workers and spiritual care.
