Possible treatments

If you’ve been told you have early penile cancer, this usually means it’s at stage 0 or 1. At this stage, the cancer is only on the surface of the skin or has just started to grow into the tissue, but it hasn’t spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. This type of cancer is often easier to treat, and many people are cured.
