Summary

Penile brachytherapy offers an organ-preserving treatment for early-stage squamous cell carcinomas, achieving local control comparable to surgery. This technique avoids extensive surgery for select penile tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Urology

Context:

  • Penile malignant tumors are rare, predominantly squamous cell carcinomas.
  • These tumors typically originate from the glans or coronal sulcus.

Purpose:

  • To describe the indications, technique, outcomes, and toxicity of penile brachytherapy.
  • To present brachytherapy as an alternative to mutilating surgery for penile cancer organ preservation.

Summary:

  • Penile brachytherapy is indicated for tumors <4 cm without urethral or corpora cavernosa invasion.
  • It provides equivalent local control to surgical interventions.
  • The article details the procedure, results, and potential side effects.

Impact:

  • Facilitates organ preservation in penile cancer treatment.
