Penile Cancer Surgery & Treatment in Chennai
Penile cancer is an uncommon cancer that develops in the tissues of the penis. Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for most penile cancers. Early diagnosis and accurate staging are important because treatment varies substantially according to the location, size, depth and extent of the tumor.
Dr. Srikarthik Voleti is a Surgical Oncologist and Robotic Cancer Surgeon in Chennai with expertise in surgical oncology and minimally invasive cancer surgery. Penile cancer services include evaluation of suspicious penile lesions, biopsy and staging, penile-preserving surgery, partial or total penectomy and lymph node assessment and surgery when indicated.
The treatment approach is individualized. Selected early tumors may be treated with organ-preserving procedures, while more extensive cancers may require wider surgery and treatment of regional lymph nodes.

Why Lymph Node Evaluation Matters in Penile Cancer
Penile cancer can spread through lymphatic channels to the groin lymph nodes and, in selected situations, to pelvic lymph nodes. Nodal status is an important factor in staging and treatment planning.
The need for lymph node surgery depends on the tumor's characteristics and the likelihood of regional spread. Not every patient with penile cancer requires lymph node dissection.
A specialist assessment can help determine whether observation, sentinel node evaluation, inguinal lymph node dissection or further nodal treatment is appropriate.
Penile-Preserving Treatment for Selected Early Cancers
When technically and oncologically appropriate, treatment may aim to remove the cancer while preserving as much normal penile tissue and function as possible.
Local Excision

Glans Resurfacing
A selected superficial treatment approach that may be considered for carefully selected lesions following specialist evaluation.
Reconstructive Planning
Reconstruction may be incorporated into selected procedures to support healing and preserve anatomy where appropriate.
Surveillance Planning
Close follow-up is important after organ-preserving treatment because recurrence surveillance remains essential.

Comprehensive Penile Cancer Treatment & Surgery in Chennai
Penile cancer treatment in Chennai requires accurate diagnosis, pathological assessment and staging before selecting the appropriate treatment. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of penile cancer. Treatment is influenced by tumor location, size, depth, grade, lymph node status and overall health.
Dr. Srikarthik Voleti is a Surgical Oncologist and Robotic Cancer Surgeon in Chennai with expertise in surgical oncology and minimally invasive cancer surgery. Penile cancer services include evaluation, biopsy, staging, organ-preserving surgery, partial or total penectomy, regional lymph node surgery and multidisciplinary treatment planning.
Penile Cancer Surgery in Chennai
Penile cancer surgery ranges from local excision and other organ-preserving procedures to partial or total penectomy. The appropriate operation is determined by the tumor's size, location, depth of invasion and ability to achieve adequate cancer control.
Penile-Preserving Surgery
Selected early penile cancers may be treated with penis-preserving surgery. Depending on the lesion, procedures can include local excision, wide local excision, selected glans-preserving approaches and glansectomy. The objective is to achieve appropriate oncological treatment while preserving healthy tissue when clinically feasible.
Partial Penectomy for Penile Cancer
Partial penectomy removes the cancer-containing portion of the penis while retaining as much healthy tissue as possible when adequate cancer margins can be achieved. It may be considered for selected invasive tumors that cannot be adequately treated by more limited organ-preserving procedures.
Total Penectomy for Advanced Penile Cancer
Total penectomy may be required for selected extensive penile cancers where a more limited operation would not provide adequate cancer control. Treatment planning also considers urinary function, reconstruction and the management of regional lymph nodes.
Penile Cancer Lymph Node Surgery
Regional lymph node management is an important component of treatment for selected penile cancers. Depending on the tumor and nodal risk, management may include surveillance, sentinel lymph node assessment, inguinal lymph node dissection or pelvic lymph node surgery.
Advanced Penile Cancer Treatment
Advanced or recurrent penile cancer may require a combination of surgery, systemic treatment and radiation therapy depending on the distribution of disease. Multidisciplinary planning helps determine the appropriate sequence and combination of treatments.
