Urethral Cancer Diagnosis

At Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center, our urethral cancer specialists understand an accurate and quick diagnosis of urethral cancer is the key to offering the best urethral cancer treatment options in a timely and efficient manner.

Our urethral oncologists have extensive experience in urologic surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology and urethral cancer research. They are also leading the way in developing new treatments for urethral cancer.

At Penn, you will benefit from a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists within the urologic cancer program including urologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, interventional radiologists, and pathologists who work together to provide an accurate diagnosis. After a diagnosis has been made, we develop an appropriate treatment plan that is customized specifically for you.

Screening for Urethral Cancer

Screening tests may be used to find some types of cancer early. Some screening tests, such as colonoscopies for colorectal cancer, are standard or routine. Other screening tests may be recommended only if a person has an increased risk for cancer.

Currently, there is no routine screening for urethral cancer.

Navigating a urethral cancer diagnosis and treatment options can be difficult. If you receive a cancer diagnosis, our cancer nurses are available and ready to help connect you with the right physician.

To connect with a cancer nurse at Penn Medicine, you should call 800-789-7366 (PENN).
