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).
