Penile Cancer Guidelines

Response Rate
For carcinoma in situ and superficial verrucous carcinoma, the response rate at 5 years with 5-fluorouracil or imiquimod was 60% to 70% (World J Urol. 2009; 27:179-187).In this setting, CO2 and Nd: YAG laser ablation can also be used, although retreatment rates are quite high (about 20% to 30%),
