Overview
Carcinoma of the penis is a rare tumour of the male urogenital tract, which may be treated by using several modalities. Interstitial brachytherapy is an effective organ sparing treatment for tumors of less than 4 cm in diameter with no invasion of the corpora cavernosa. This modality permits to achieve the local control of penile carcinoma in 80% of patients while conserving penile morphology and function.
KEY WORDS:
penile cancer, brachytherapy, radiotherapy
