Q: Penile cancer and it metastasization

asked by: DoctorQuestion on November 29th, 2008

This lump persist almost 2 months. but i don't have any sore. i had a small sore before but not on the shaft and not the glans. just as small as this period (.) but it healed after 1 day i think. there is no redness and sore and also rash.
like what i've said, i feel something's weird. this is so mysterious. anyway, thank you for answering my questions. this is a big help. but i have a last question, how long does the penile cancer metastasize or spread to other part of the body?

No data can be given about the exact time that it will take the penile cancer to metastasize or spread to other parts of the body. Generally, the more the tissue is rich in blood vessels, the higher probability of local and distant metastasis. If the tumor is incapsulated, the risk for metastasis is reduced significantly.
