Abstract EN
Penile cancer is a rare pathology.
For penile cancer surgical treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and combined modality treatment are available.
Because of great importance of this organ for mental condition of patient, the development of organ-preserving methods allowing to minimize impact on patient’s quality of life without compromising of oncological results is desirable.
In the Center of Laser and Photodynamic diagnosis and treatment of tumors in P.A.
Herzen Moscow Cancer Research Institute the methods of photodynamic therapy in patients with penile cancer have been developed.
From 2011 to 2013 the treatment was conducted in 11 patients with precancer and cancer of penile.
The average age was 56.6.
According to morphological diagnosis photodynamic therapy (PDT) was performed using two methods.
One method included topical application of agent for PDT and the second intravenous administration of photosensitizer.
For topical application alasens was used and for intravenous injection we appliedradachlorine.
All patients had no complications.
Complete regression was achieved in 9 patients, and partial regression in 2.
Thus, the results showed that photodynamic therapy for penile cancer stage Tis-1N0M0 permits performing organ-preserving treatment with satisfactory oncological results and no impairment of patient’s quality of life.
