A 60-year-old [correction of 68] male was referred to our hospital because of a penile tumor with necrosis. Pathological examination of the penile tumor and superficial inguinal lymph nodes in biopsy revealed well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and the SCC tumor marker was elevated. TNM classification was T2, N2, M0 according to findings obtained by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We diagnosed the tumor inoperable radically and administered 10 mg peplomycin once a week for 10 weeks intravenously. The SCC marker level was not reduced and the tumor was not changed on MRI. Then, we performed combined pirarubicin treatment and radiotherapy. The patient received linac radiotherapy between 40 Gy/4 weeks/20 fractions. Pirarubicin, 10 mg/m2, was administered once a week for 4 weeks during irradiation intravenously. After the combined therapy, the SCC marked level was reduced to the normal range and the tumor was reduced. We performed radical operation. Pathological diagnosis revealed no viable tumor cells. The patient was alive with no evidence of disease a year later. This combined therapy is suggested to be useful.
