Penile cancer occurs when cells in a man’s penis grow abnormally. It begins in skin cells and then spreads inside. It is rare but if diagnosed early, can be completely treated.
Though the exact cause of penile cancer is not known but it is commonly seen in men with HPV infection (human papillomavirus), over 60, smokers or having a weakened immunity due to HIV, and who aren’t circumcised. Some men have a tight foreskin due to which it becomes difficult to clean and fluid builds up. Some had psoriasis treatment with the drug psoralen and UV light: these also can lead to penile cancer.
After treatment Dr. Raghunath will watch you closely during follow-up visits to look for new signs of cancer. Most treatments for early-stage penile cancer don’t affect your ability to have but chemotherapy and radiation might. Dr. Raghunath will counsel you regarding the possible side effects and how you can manage them.
When you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, you may experience disbelief, fear, anger & anxiety. This is the time to stay strong.
My team and me are on a mission to treat patients with prostate cancer.
I would like to assure you that prostate cancer if caught early can be successfully treated. I am here to support you and together we can defeat cancer.
Dr Raghunath is professionally sound and an expert surgeon. He is patient and gets to the bottom of the issue before charting a course of action. He took on a risky surgery with me of a rare condition and achieved 100% results. I will highly recommend him for any uro surgery requirements.

Dr. Raghunath is one of the best doctors I have ever met. He is patient, is always smiling to make his patients comfortable, and remembers in great detail everything a patient tells him during every round of check-up. I consulted him for my dad. He explained everything well and gave us options before finalizing a course for treatment. He is very clear with his post-op instructions as well. His team, including Dr. Tejas, Sangamesh and Girish, is wonderful as well. They ensure availability for the patient every step of the way.
