Abstract
Background:
There is no reliable treatment for penile tumor with lymph node metastasis.
Methods:
We report on a patient with a penile tumor with extensive regional metastasis that was successfully managed with combined laser hyperthermia, radiation and chemotherapy.
Results:
The patient has survived more than 7 years without evidence of disease.
Conclusions:
Multidisciplinary treatment, including laser hyperthermia, may be useful for the treatment of regional metastasis of penile tumor.
