Abstract
The initial diagnosis and staging of penile cancer is an important part of the treatment pathway for patients presenting with penile cancer. A prompt clinical and histological diagnosis is required to prevent unnecessary delays in treatment. This chapter will provide an overview of the diagnosis and staging of suspicious penile lesions and the regional lymph nodes.
