ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To further investigate the management and prognosis of primary urethral cancer in male.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We treated 3 cases of primary urethral cancer from 2001 to 2011 and followed them up for recurrence and survival.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The 3 male patients all received adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, and 2 of them were treated by distal urethrectomy, while the other underwent no surgery. Follow-up visits revealed 2 cases of metastasis and 1 case of death.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Primary cancer of the male urethra is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis, for which radical resection is the main treatment method. Those in the relatively advanced stage can be treated by a combined method of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.</p>
