Summary: No explicit recommendation has been determined in a treatment for the verified squamous cell penis carcinoma till
now. The application of ionizing radiation is included in traditional treatment methods for this disease, in addition
to surgical operations and chemotherapy cure. It is possible to apply external radiotherapy or brachy-radiotherapy
(a moulage or an intersticial application) as well as their combination. In individual cases it is possible to use
chemo–radiotherapy. In the case of the localized tumor a curative radiotherapy can be used as it is more save towards
this organ. Radiotherapy has its place in the neoadjuvans treatment with the goal to reduce the disease extent. It can
be also used as an adjuvans – postoperatively and paliatively. This review is describing principles of the radiotherapy
treatment for this disease.
