The short answer is yes you can but its kinda rare, most cases of penile cancer are in men over 40 but we have seen cases in boys as young as 14. the good news is if its caught early, its treatable with good success's. the bad news is the gold standard treatment is to have you penis amputated. i know this sounds extreme but its really not as bad as it sounds, your body is quick to adjust and it also depends on how much of your penis has to be cut off. generally we like to amputate the penis at least 2 cm below the tumor, how ever if we cant leave at least a 1" stump, its best to cut the entire penis off as less than 1" will not be enoungh to pee standings up of for having sex, at this point your urine would be re-routed to a new hole behind your balls and as for sex, you would be required to wear a strap-on type prosthesis.
You can be affected by Penile cancer even if you don't or haven't had Penile cancer. For example- say their was a lady called Sue and she had a daughter called Olivia but Sue also has Penile cancer. Olivia would also be affected. It would affect her in a sad kind of way. I mean Olivia would be worried and upset. So Penile cancer can also affect those without Penile cancer just as much as it dose affect those who do have Penile cancer. So you really should not make jokes about anything to do with Penile cancer, unless everyone is OK with you making the joke and won't get upset and tell on you.

Smegma itself is not a direct cause of penile cancer, but poor hygiene leading to the accumulation of smegma may contribute to an increased risk. Chronic irritation and inflammation associated with smegma buildup can potentially lead to changes in the penile tissue. Additionally, smegma can harbor bacteria and viruses, including human papillomavirus (HPV), which is linked to penile cancer. Maintaining proper hygiene can help reduce these risks.
The main symptom of penile cancer is a change in the skin of the penile. The skin may change color, become thicker, or tissue may build up in one area. Some men may notice an ulcer (sore) or a lump on the penile.

Yes, penile cancer is a real but rare type of cancer that affects the skin or tissues of the penile, most commonly in men over 50. It usually begins as a small lump, sore, or skin change—often painless in early stages—which can be mistaken for other conditions. Risk factors include poor hygiene, HPV infection, smoking, and being uncircumcised. Early detection is crucial, as timely treatment can offer excellent outcomes.
Penile cancer is treated depending on how early it is found. In early stage penile cancer, doctors may use creams, laser therapy, or minor surgery to remove the tumor. If the cancer is more advanced, surgery might be needed to remove part or all of the penile. Radiation and chemotherapy are used when the cancer has spread or surgery isn’t an option. Sometimes, nearby lymph nodes are also removed. Early treatment improves chances of recovery and helps avoid major surgery or serious complications.
