What is Penile Cancer??

Penile cancer is one of the rarest cancers - rare even than breast cancer in men - and the figures for that hard to come by. Penile cancer occurs when malignant cells develop in the skin or tissue of the penis. Men circumcised penis cancer at the same level with the little man intact. Initial research seems to indicate a correlation has not been corrected for age, penile cancer is a disease of the elderly and parents with cancer in the study was only born at the time of circumcision is less traditional than when a young man born without cancer.When the men of the same age were compared, the correlation disappeared. Penile Cancer is very rare, but still very important to recognize the signs and symptoms. If penile cancer is detected early, the chances of complete recovery are very good. Penile cancer can develop anywhere in the penis, but the most developed under the foreskin, in men who have not been circumcised, or on the glans penis.

About 600 people in Germany are diagnosed each year in this (malignant tumors) malignant. This corresponds to about one percent of all human malignant disease. For people who already perform circumcision in newborn boys, penile cancer is very rare. Penile cancer in men mostly older, most commonly in the sixth decade of life. When the tumor penis most (95 percent) to squamous cell carcinoma. Rarely is a basal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and other tumors of the penis.

The penis contains erectile tissue that can swell to maintain an erection with the inclusion of large blood volumes. Under the corpora cavernosa run the urethra. Located at the tip of the glans penis, which is covered by the foreskin. Necrotic mucosal cells of the gland and the inner foreskin is fat foreskin (smegma) that can be removed simply by pushing back the foreskin. In circumcision the foreskin is removed. Penile tumors are found most commonly on the glans penis and prepuce. Large lesions may spread into the corpora cavernosa, or even in the abdominal wall. Penile cancer to metastasize to the lymphatic channels preferred, either in the groin or pelvic lymph nodes. Rare childhood cancer cells that migrate through the bloodstream to organs such as lungs, liver, or (rarely) framework known as distant metastases.

Patients with carcinoma of the penis tend to delay seeking medical attention, with 15-50% delay medical attention for more than 1 year of onset. The delay is due to shame, guilt, fear, ignorance, and personal negligence. Patients often try to treat themselves with a variety of skin creams and lotions. This may appear to be effective for the time, which further delays the diagnosis and prognosis worsens.

Delays can also be caused by a doctor. Some patients with penile cancer report that they receive a variety of ointments and antibiotics from their primary care physician before they see the urologist. Delays in diagnosis and therapy not only affects the possibility of survival, but also limits the ability to maintain function and cosmetic results are satisfactory. Nearly 25% of dysplastic or neoplastic lesions of the penis misdiagnosed as benign.

So a quick check yourself. Ok!
