Overview
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
