Overview
There are no CT scan findings associated with penile cancer. CT scan may be performed to detect metastases of penile cancer to surrounding lymph nodes, liver, lungs and other organs.
CT Scan
CT scan may be used to:
- See if the cancer has spread to surrounding lymph nodes, especially in men who are obese
- See if the cancer has spread to the liver, lungs or other organs
- Guide a needle to help collect cells and tissues from lymph nodes during a fine needle aspiration biopsy
