Urethral cancer is the rarest type of cancer that starts in the urethra. The exact cause of cancer is not known. But certain risk factors can increase the risk of developing it, such as older age, chronic irritation or inflammation of the urinary tract, and HPV (human papillomavirus) infection. It may cause symptoms like blood in the urine, bleeding from the urethra, frequent urination, and trouble passing urine. Urethral cancer may be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
