What is penile cancer?
Penile cancer occurs when the cells in the tissue of the penis begin to grow abnormally and at a fast rate. Most penile cancers are squamous cell carcinoma. This type of cancer begins in the flat skin cells of the penis or in the glans. Squamous cell penile cancer is slow moving and can be cured if caught early.
