MODEL RELEASED. Partially-amputated penis of a 63-year-old man,one month after surgery. The head of the penis was removed because of a squamous cell carcinoma,one of the most common forms of skin cancer. Squamous cells are flat,scale-like cells in the skin. They can become cancerous after prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or to cancer-causing chemicals. Squamous cell carcinoma can be fatal if allowed to spread,but if caught in the early stages,the cancerous area can be excised surgically. Radiotherapy or chemotherapy may also be necessary | |
