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? "He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD." Deuteronomy 23:1 Also, he is born of unmarried parents. "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: Is male Circumcision an effective prevention method against UTIs, HIV, and penile cancer? I read a study indicating this may (just may) be the case. Could anyone please clarify?

Answer: Nope - no evidence to suggest this is the case, and quite a lot to suggest it isn't. For example, check out parts of Africa where circumcision is massively prevalent, yet who have huge problems with HIV. The only way to avoid STIs is to wrap up, not cut off parts of your todger. Further more, genital cancer in males is more or less restricted to the love-spuds - and removal of the foreskin has no effect on this whatsoever.

Answer: Penile cancer under 30 is almost unheard of. If it was cancer and you had it 4 -5 years there would be little doubt in your mind about it now. If it was cancer it would have grown and it would look like an sore that would not heal or scab over and drain a foul smelling discharge.

Answer: As you already know, penile cancer is a disease of elderly men, not 17 yr olds, so why don't you go to a dermatologist and find out what is really going on? You do not have cancer for two years without the disease progressing in symptoms and severity so your assumption that you have cancer is way off base.

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.

Question: What are symptoms of penile cancer?? I have 6 white bumps on my foreskin... and another 6 near the whole of the penis...i had them for a year...they are very small, usually less than 1 mm...could this be penile cancer?? (I'm 14 yrs old) where it says "whole" it should say hole*

Answer: Penile cancer would be rare in a 14 year old. The more common type of cancer for your age group would be testicular cancer. You need to go to your doctor for a clinical examination . . and be perfectly honest about your concerns. He will be able to tell you what this might be or refer you to a specialist for further investigation. I know two young men who have had testicular cancer. One passed away just a few months ago (after the disease progressed), the other is still in treatment and doing well. (both boys had stage 1 cancer) Take no chances with this. When in doubt . . always check it out. Best of luck to you.

Question: Do i have penile cancer? I am 16,not circumised,not sexually active.5 days ago a noticed a pimple on the shaft of my penis.I popped it and pus cam out.Now 5 days later the pimple is still there,it is red,0,7cm in diameter,it is yellowish in the middle with pus.Has not growned.Is this a simple acne pimple,is it infected or is it penile cancer.I am very concerned i dont want to die please answer seriously.Thanks

Answer: It sounds more like an infected pimple. Dap a little hydrogen peroxide on it 2-3 times a day for a couple of days, it won’t hurt. It should go away in about a week and don’t pick at it. Men who get penile cancer are usually about 60 years old and it almost never appears on the shaft.
