title: Multidisciplinary treatment, including laser hyperthermia, for extensive regional metastasis of a penile tumor.
abstract: 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.
