Penile cancer is a disease in which cancerous cells forms into tissues of the penis, a male sex organ which helps body to pass sperms and excrete urine from body. Penile cancer is generally caused by body fluid that gets entangled into the skin. If these body fluids are not washed off on regular basis, it may produce cancer-causing effects. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and human papilloma virus (HPV) are the most common viruses that cause penile cancer. Other causes include frequent tobacco use, poor hygiene, and other skin diseases. Smokers and older men are more prone to suffer from penile cancer. Signs and symptoms of penile cancer include bleeding, lumps, redness, sores among others. According to United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), 15.5 Mn patients are on antiretroviral therapy (as of June 2015), 36.9 Mn people globally were living with HIV (as of December 2014), 2 Mn patients became newly infected with HIV (as of December 2014), and 1.2 Mn people died from AIDS-related illness (as of December 2014). This has encouraged pharmaceutical companies to invest in penile cancer treatment market and develop drugs for penile cancer.
