Abstract
Forty-four patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis stage T1 -T2, NO were either treated surgically (n = 19) or with a combination of irradiation and bleomycin (n = 25). The overall actuarial survival rate was 80% at 3 years, 77% at 5 years and 60% at 10 years. The resul t of irradiation treatment combined with bleomycin was in stage NO equ ivalent to that of surgical therapy. The non-surgical treatment had th e advantage of preserved sexual ability.
