Penile cancer is a rare but serious condition that requires timely diagnosis and expert management. At Pratham Urology, under the expertise of Dr. Kalpesh Kapadia, we offer advanced penile cancer treatment options, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Our goal is to effectively remove or control cancer while preserving function and appearance as much as possible.
Understanding Penile Cancer
Penile cancer usually develops on the skin or within the tissues of the penis. It often starts as a small lesion or sore and may progress if left untreated. Common symptoms include:
- Persistent growths, sores, or lumps on the penis
- Changes in skin color or texture
- Unusual discharge or bleeding
- Pain or discomfort in the penile region
Early detection is crucial for successful treatment. If you notice any unusual symptoms, consult a specialist immediately.
How is Penile Cancer Diagnosed?
At Pratham Urology, our diagnostic approach includes:
- Physical Examination: Checking for abnormalities on the penis
- Biopsy: A sample is taken for lab analysis to confirm cancer
- Imaging Tests: MRI, CT scans, or ultrasounds help determine the extent of the disease
- Lymph Node Evaluation: To check if cancer has spread beyond the penis
Treatment Options for Penile Cancer
Surgery
Surgical procedures for penile cancer vary depending on the tumor's size and spread. Options include:
- Laser Surgery: Used for early-stage penile cancer to remove surface tumors
- Excisional Surgery: Removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue
- Partial Penectomy: Removing a portion of the penis while preserving function
- Total Penectomy: Required in advanced cases where the entire penis must be removed
Radiation Therapy
Radiation is often used when surgery isn't an option or as an additional treatment after surgery. It helps in destroying cancer cells and reducing tumor size.
Chemotherapy & Targeted Therapy
- Topical Chemotherapy: Applied directly to early-stage penile cancer lesions
- Systemic Chemotherapy: Used when cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other organs
- Targeted Therapy: Focuses on specific cancerous cells to stop growth and prevent further spread
Recovery & Life After Penile Cancer Treatment
Recovery depends on the treatment type and stage of cancer. Post-treatment care includes:
- Regular follow-ups for early detection of recurrence
- Physical rehabilitation and reconstructive options
- Emotional and psychological support for patients
- Personalized lifestyle modifications to maintain overall health
