Carcinoma of the male urethra
Abstract:
Between February 1965 and November 1981 we treated 10 men with transitional or squamous cell carcinoma of the urethra. Treatment consisted of radiation therapy alone in 5 patients, operation alone in 4 and a combination of irradiation plus operation in 1. Radiation therapy produced local-regional control in 4 of the 5 patients with carcinoma of the distal or prostatic urethra, and 3 were completely free of disease at 5 years. The only complication of irradiation was urethral stricture in 3 patients, which was treated successfully by periodic urethral dilation. None of the patients treated by an operation alone or with irradiation achieved local-regional control.
