The tumor size and degree of spread locally and to other sites (stage) determines treatment options.
• If the tumor is small and local, it can be treated surgically, chemically or with radiation or laser without major
damage to the appearance or function of the penis.
• If it has penetrated the deeper penile tissues or if it is large, surgery is the preferred treatment for most men.
Radiation is an option, but results are less certain.
• If the tumor has spread to lymph nodes , surgery or radiation are used.
• Chemotherapy is of little value in extensive carcinoma of the penis.
