My Critter (MF male) was dx'd with Prepucial Adenocarcinoma at the age of 6. I had it removed surgically, it returned. I also had a PU done (forget what it stands for but is basically rerouting his urinary tract to bypass the penis). Six months to a year later I had it removed again. It came back, this time after consulting the vet, we watched it to see if it grew, it didn't get any larger. The PU also never seemed very effective, he still peed like a boy. I guess it was just precautionary in case his urinary tract got blocked. Either way, the PU procedure is something I wouldn't repeat unless absolutely necessary, it was expensive, hard on Critter and hard on me and had no redeeming value at that point. Even though it kept coming back, Critter lived to 8 1/2 years old. Everything I read about Prepucial Adenocarcinoma did not leave me feeling hopeful, however at 8 1/2 years, I'd have to say it didn't shorten Critter's life.
