Brachytherapy rather than surgery is a good option for cancer of the penis

(European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO)) Results from the largest group of men treated for cancer of the penis by a single institution have shown that treatment with brachytherapy is a good option that can be used instead of surgery in many cases. The study, presented at the 36th annual congress of the European SocieTy for Radiotherapy& Oncology, is important because penile cancer is extremely rare and so it is difficult to gather enough evidence to show that one type of treatment is better than another.
