Outcomes for advanced penile carcinoma remain poor with limited options for curative treatment. Nodal recurrences represent worse prognosis and are typically treated with a combination of radiation, chemotherapy, or consolidative resection. Although the ideal management for recurrences remains unknown, there is some evidence supporting the role of chemotherapy followed by consolidative resection. Using a multimodal strategy, we describe the curative potential of postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for penile cancer patients with isolated locoregional recurrences in the retroperitoneum.
