Magnetic resonance imaging of penile cancer - Abstract

Penile cancer is a rare neoplasm that, although rare in the developed world, has devastating physical and psychological consequences for the patient.

Novel MR imaging techniques such as lymphotropic nanoparticle-enhanced MR imaging may help identify metastatic lymph node disease. This article reviews the normal penile anatomy and MR imaging techniques and features of primary and metastatic penile cancer. Recent advances in penile cancer imaging are discussed.
