Abstract: Penile cancer is rare type of tumor mostly seen in men over 50. Most often, patients fail to recognize their symptoms and decide to suppress their pain out of fear of being judged by others. Patients continue to be reluctant to discuss genital issues with doctors and to seek therapy early in the course of the disease. Patient education is crucial for an early cancer diagnosis because a delay in the diagnosis can raise worldwide mortality rate. The following case study describes a 77-year-old man with penile cancer who visited the hospital at a late stage of the disease, which results in delaying the initiation of treatment. In our case report, the patient received prompt treatment after receiving a diagnosis of terminal penile cancer. The case report presented here is crucial for helping medical professionals in the treatment of advanced cancer patients.
