Prognosis

Prognosis can range considerably for patients, depending where on the scale they have been staged. Generally speaking, the earlier the cancer is diagnosed, the better the prognosis. The overall 5-year survival rate for all stages of penile cancer is about 50%.

Complications

Cancer of the penis frequently spreads to other parts of the body (metastasizes) early in the course of the disease.
