Radiation therapy for the management of penile cancer
Conclusion
Penile cancer is an uncommon cancer that has historically been treated with penectomy. Although penectomy provides a high local control rate, it is associated with significant psychosocial side effects. Radiation therapy in the form of brachytherapy or external beam therapy offers an organ-preserving treatment option with high rates of local control and penile preservation.
