Can I Get Checked for Penile Cancer Before I Have Symptoms?

Any change on the skin of the penis should be reported to the doctor right away.

There is no standard screening process to check for penile cancer. However, many early screening tests can detect signs of disease in people who don’t have symptoms. You can protect yourself by routinely checking for any skin changes such as warts, sores, or blisters. Many men may not see a doctor about such changes because of embarrassment or other reasons. If you notice any changes on the skin of your foreskin, glans, or shaft of your penis, you should tell your doctor right away.
