For advanced non-operable penile cancer, usually 3 to 4 cycles of induction chemotherapy are given. Following this PET-CT is repeated to assess the response. If there is good response surgery is a possibility is the residual lesion is respectable.
Next Steps
Complete 4 cycles of chemotherapy then repeat PET-CT if good response, go for surgery
