Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy of rectal adenocarcinoma with penile metastasis: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the rich proximity and vascularization to the pelvic organs, metastatic lesions to the penis are incredibly uncommon. Most primary tumors are genitourinary cancers, and rectal origins are rare. Only 56 cases of metastatic penile tumors have been reported since 1870. Several palliative or curative methods, such as chemotherapy, total penectomy, and radiotherapy, have been applied to treat this condition in previous cases; however, the patient prognosis is poor. Immunotherapy is a beneficial treatment approach for multiple cancers, and recent investigations have shown that it may be beneficial for patients with advanced penile cancer.
