Treatment of Metastatic or Recurrent Urethral Cancer

For information about the treatments listed below, see the Treatment Option Overview section.

Treatment of urethral cancer that has metastasized (spread to other parts of the body) is usually chemotherapy.

Treatment of recurrent urethral cancer may include one or more of the following:

• Surgery to remove the tumor. Sometimes nearby lymph nodes are also removed (lymph node dissection).
• Radiation therapy.
