Penile cancer symptom response?

summary

Penile cancer is a malignant tumor originated from glans, coronal sulcus, inner prepuce mucosa and penile skin. It is the most common malignant tumor of penis, accounting for more than 90% of penis tumors. The most common pathological type is squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, accounting for about 95% of penile carcinoma. Therefore, penile cancer has almost become synonymous with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, causing people to ignore the existence of other types of penile cancer. Penile cancer symptom response? Let's talk about it

Penile cancer symptom response?

Penile cancer often starts from the glans, coronal sulcus and the mucosa of the inner prepuce. For patients with phimosis, the lesions are not easy to be found in the early stage. It can touch the nodules or masses in the prepuce, and gradually increase, and can penetrate the prepuce to expose the cancer.

Prepuce mouth often has purulent or bloody secretion outflow. The patients whose prepuce can be everted and the glans can be exposed show papules, papillary or flat protrusions, warts or cauliflower like plaques and ulcers at the lesions. The lesions gradually increase and the surface is often accompanied by malodorous secretions.

Penile cancer rarely occurs in the body of the penis. Because of infection, patients with penile cancer often have unilateral or bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. About 50% of the patients with enlarged lymph nodes have lymph node metastasis confirmed by pathology.

matters needing attention

Surgical resection is the most important and effective treatment. According to the location, size and stage of the lesion, circumcision, partial penile resection and total penile resection plus urethroplasty can be selected. Partial penis resection should be performed at least 2cm away from the edge of the tumor. Because of infection, it is best to take anti-inflammatory treatment for one week before operation, including local anti-inflammatory treatment. For patients without inguinal lymphadenectasis, routine inguinal lymphadenectomy is not recommended at present. If the lymph node metastasis is confirmed by biopsy, inguinal lymphadenectomy or dissection can be performed. Postoperative radiotherapy can be considered.
