Urethral Cancer
Urethral Cancer Urethral cancer is rare and is often associated with invasive bladder cancer. It tends to spread (metastasize) to adjacent soft tissue and is often locally advanced when diagnosed.
Types:
- Transitional cell carcinoma (develops in surface cells of the urethra)
- Adenocarcinoma (develops in glands located near the urethra)
- Melanoma (extremely rare; develops in pigment-producing skin cells)
- Sarcoma (extremely rare; develops in blood vessels, smooth muscle, and connective tissue)
Urethral cancer is more predominant in women. It can develop at any age, but is most common in people around their 60's. .
