Hospitals / Doctors specialising in treating Penile Cancer

I have a 14 referral to see someone at the Hospital for suspected Penile Cancer. However they are unable to see me for 2 months. Are there any hospitals in the Midlands that specialise in treating Penile Cancer that might be able to respond to a 14 day referral ?

  • Hello and thank you for your post, I am sorry to hear about your situation.

    I am afraid that many people across the UK are waiting longer to be seen by specialist teams. The NHS is doing its best to see people as quickly as it can. 

    Most urology departments will investigate and treat people with urological cancers, this will include penile cancer.  Urology departments are found in most hospitals in the UK.  There is not one that is specific for penile cancer. 

    However, asking your GP if referring you to another hospital might mean you're seen more quickly might be a good idea. I am afraid that we cannot recommend where you should go

    Please remember that waiting longer is no guarantee that your situation will worsen, although I appreciate that it is still a worry.

    I hope you have some support at this time and you may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
