Cancer of Male Urethra: Case Series and Review of Literature

Urethral cancer is one of the rarest cancers. This study reported four cases treated in our department during the last two years. The patients’ medical histories differed and showed various symptoms and courses of illness. Each patient was treated surgically and received additional treatment. Two patients had pelvic injuries recorded in their medical history. One patient had progressive cancer on the basis of condyloma. The late diagnosis was a significant problem. None of the patients presented distal metastasis at the time of diagnosis, but the local advancement was significant. The courses of disease were aggressive in all patients. This study also reviewed the literature concerning primary male urethral cancer regarding the course of the disease and possible treatment methods.
