Abstract:
A 49-year-old man with penile cancer (cT3N1M0) was referred to our hospital. The pathologic diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma. The patient underwent penectomy and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy without postoperative adjuvant therapy. Six months later, we found multiple metastases of the penile cancer in the lungs. The patient was then treated with combination chemotherapy of cisplatin, methotrexate, bleomycin. However, the tumors were aggressive and did not respond to the therapy. We discuss the use of combination chemotherapy in the case of advanced penile cancer.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
