Overview
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.
