Treatment of Stage I Penile Cancer

If the cancer is only in the foreskin, wide local excision and circumcision may be the only treatment needed.

  • surgery (partial or total penectomy with or without removal of lymph nodes in the groin)
  • external or internal radiation therapy
  • Mohs microsurgery
  • a clinical trial of laser therapy
