Male urethral cancer

Urinary tract cancer is a urethral epithelial tumor and is relatively rare in clinical practice. Primary urethral cancer is relatively rare and occurs mainly in women. Most male urethral cancers are over 40 years old, and female urethral cancers are more common in the elderly. Primary urethral tumors are rarely seen clinically. Malignant tumors include cancer, sarcoma, and melanoma. The incidence of urethral tumors is about 19: 1 for females and males. The urethra is the only organ in which females have significantly more tumours than males. Secondary urethral cancer is more common than primary. Treatment is difficult and the prognosis is poor.
