A member asked:

Vein penis lump always cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The shaft: Of the penis has superficial veins, and they can dilate to cause a protuberance; but the most common site of cancer is the head/glans penis. Why speculate? Go see a doctor to be sure it is not something else not related to cancer.
