[Neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy with methotrexate, cisplatin and bleomycin for advanced penile cancer: a case report].

: A 58-year-old male consulted our hospital because of penile swelling and pain with bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. Pathological examination of the penile tumor and right superficial inguinal lymph node biopsy demonstrated moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with lymph node metastasis. We diagnosed the tumor inoperable radically and adjuvant chemotherapy with methotrexate, cisplatin and bleomycin was administered, followed by partial penectomy and left superficial lymphadenectomy. The surgical specimens showed few viable tumor cells. This combination chemotherapy is suggested to be effective for the treatment of advanced penile cancer.
