Is there any benefit in adding postoperative adjuvant concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy for penile cancer with regional lymph node metastasis?
CONCLUSIONS: Penile cancer with extensive RLNM carries a poor prognosis. Despite having more extensive RLNM, the RT-CHT group had a similar overall survival as the Surveillance Group. This suggests a potential benefit of postoperative adjuvant concurrent RT-CHT for patients with extensive RLNM, although it carries an increased risk of complications. Further study is warranted to assess the benefit-to-risk ratio of this combined adjuvant therapy.
