Overview
Surgery
The most common treatment is one of four types of surgery:
- Wide local excision - The tumor and some surrounding healthy tissue are removed
- Microsurgery - Surgery performed with a microscope is used to remove the tumor and as little healthy tissue as possible
- Laser surgery - laser light is used to burn or cut away cancerous cells
- Circumcision - cancerous foreskin is removed [1] Full Text
- Amputation (penectomy) - a partial or total removal of the penis, and possibly the associated lymph nodes. This is the most common and effective treatment.
