[Radiation assisted diagnosis and complex treatment of penile carcinoma]

Recurrence-free survival rate after conservative treatment of penile carcinoma was as high as 81%. The best results were obtained with use of combined radiotherapy (monotherapy and telegamma therapy concurrent with penile resection or circumcision) (91.6 and 75%, respectively). Organ-saving treatment was most effective in T1-T2 penile carcinoma while MRI yielded the most reliable diagnostic evidence on depth of primary tumor invasion and regional lymph node involvement.
