Introduction

This report talks about penile cancer. It looks at how doctors treat this disease and how many men get it.

Main Body

Penile cancer is rare. About 700 men in the UK get it every year. Smoking and poor hygiene increase the risk. Scotland has the most cases. Doctors think the number of cases will grow until 2040. Doctors use surgery to remove the cancer. Some patients need long operations. Doctors remove parts of the organ and skin. Some patients need more surgery to fix their skin later. Many men do not go to the doctor quickly. They feel shy or embarrassed. Sometimes, family doctors make mistakes. They think the cancer is a simple skin infection. This makes the treatment start too late.

Conclusion

Penile cancer is a serious disease. Patients need to see a doctor early to live longer.
