Is penile cancer without metastasis serious

Penile cancer without metastasis is also considered serious. Penile cancer is a serious malignant tumor that develops with hard nodules and bloody discharge in the foreskin. Patients with stage I penile cancer can be treated by surgery, and for stage II patients, multiple ways of treatment are needed to prolong life. Penile cancer is prevalent in the prepuce and the head of the penis, and it is related to the prolongation of the foreskin, the prepuce and the infection of HPV, which is mainly manifested by hard nodules in the prepuce and bloody secretion. Penile cancer mostly occurs in men aged 40 to 60, but it is relatively rare compared with common cancers such as lung cancer and stomach cancer. Clinically, penile cancer is mainly categorized into two stages. Stage I penile cancer can be improved by surgery, and if patients are actively treated, the 5-year survival rate after surgery is 75%. Stage II penile cancer 5-year survival rate drops to 50%, besides surgical treatment, radiotherapy is also needed to alleviate physical pain and prevent bone metastasis; for those who have metastasis and undergo inguinal lymph node dissection, the 5-year survival rate is only 30%. Therefore, penile cancer without metastasis is also a more serious disease, once you find uncomfortable symptoms, you should consult doctor in time and actively cooperate with treatment in order to alleviate the symptoms and prolong the survival period.
