  • Penile Cancer

    Penile Cancer: Stages

    The stage of a cancer is how much and how far the cancer has spread in your body. Healthcare providers consider the grade, stage, and your health when recommending a treatment plan. They also look at your feelings and preferences. Staging information helps healthcare providers compare your own case with other men who have penile cancer.

    Prostate Cancer: Introduction

    Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men (not counting skin cancer) in the U.S. It tends to occur mainly in older men. In most cases prostate cancer is found before it has spread to other parts of the body. Cancer that hasn’t spread is easier to treat and cure.
