I was diagnosed with PENILE cancer in March. Had a biopsy taken which confused cancer. The tumour was removed at Leices General, specialist centre for my region. Further biopsy undertaken following removal of tumour. Been advised tge cancer was a particularly virulent type. Letter from surgeon refers to the following, which is meaningless to me. Can anyone help
'G3 pT1 R0'. No ex0lantion offered. Tried Goggling but confusing explanation.
I will be undergoing DSNB to remove the sentinel nodes to see if the cancer has spread. I understand this process but it is G3pT1 R0 that I need help understanding.
Can anyone help please.
Thanks
Hi Horus and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I don't have any experience with this type of cancer but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. You might find this information from Macmillan on staging and grading of penile cancer helpful. If you are still unsure then you could post your question in the ask a nurse section of the online community and one of the specialist nurses will reply within 3 working days.
Wishing you all the best
