How do you get penis cancer? how do you get it, and how can you tell if it is cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Look for any growth: Any new growth would be suspect as potential cancer. Your doctors can help with the diagnosis. Sometimes they have to do a biopsy of any new growth if it does not settle down in 2 weeks. The cause of this cancer is not always clear cut.
