Urethral Cancer

Urethral cancer is a rare type of cancer that forms in the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside the body. It can occur in both men and women, but is more common in men. Symptoms may include blood in urine, painful urination, or a growth near the urethra. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and biopsy. Treatment options often include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, depending on the cancer's stage and location. Early detection is important for better outcomes, so any concerning symptoms should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
