Radiation therapy of penile cancer: six to ten-year follow-up.

Ten patients with penile cancer were treated with radiation therapy between 1968 and 1973. Nine of ten remain free of disease though in 1 patient a new penile primary developed eight years after the radiation therapy and was treated by partial penectomy. One patient died following surgery for "bleeding ulcer." He was free of penile cancer five years after radiation. The most common complication is urethral stricture and skin telangiectasia.
