Multidisciplinary treatment, including laser hyperthermia, for extensive regional metastasis of a penile tumor.
BACKGROUND
There is no reliable treatment for penile tumor with lymph node metastasis.


METHODS
We report on a patient with a penile tumor with extensive regional metastasis that was successfully managed with combined laser hyperthermia, radiation and chemotherapy.


RESULTS
The patient has survived more than 7 years without evidence of disease.


CONCLUSIONS
Multidisciplinary treatment, including laser hyperthermia, may be useful for the treatment of regional metastasis of penile tumor.
