Overview
CT scan may be performed to detect metastases of carcinoma of the penis to surrounding lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and other organs.
CT Scan

- 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
