PurposeThis study aimed to assess the safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction of superficial radiation therapy in the treatment of Peyronie's disease (PD) in a retrospective analysis.Methods and materialsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 83 patients who underwent radiation therapy between 1999 and 2008 with 8 fractions of 4 Gy over a period of 6 months. With a mean follow-up time of 52 months, patients responded to a comprehensive questionnaire that covered patient characteristics, disease duration before radiation therapy, course of disease, treatment response, side effects, and patient satisfaction.ResultsAfter a mean follow-up time of 52 months, 78% of the treated patients reported that PD progression had stopped. Furthermore 47% of patients had a symptom regression. Only 7% of patients reported PD progression. The penile curvature was improved in 49% of patients, and plaque induration could be reduced in 42% of patients. Moreover, 71% of patients reported substantial pain relief, as measured by a visual analogue scale (1 = not satisfied; 10 = very satisfied). Treatment satisfaction was rated with a median of 8 in a visual analogue scale out of 10. Side effects included transient erythema in 38.6% of patients and 9.6% reported of transient or chronic dryness. No severe side effects were observed.ConclusionsRadiation therapy for PD in the disease's early stages proved to be a safe and well-tolerated method with good results in pain relief, especially in patients aged <62 years. No serious adverse events or malign transformations are expected using doses up to 32 Gy.

“…High-energy electron beams, either alone or combined with high-energy photon beams, are widely used in radiation therapy [7,11,18,28,34,35]. In many clinical situations, such as in the treatment of head-and-neck tumors or breast cancer, photon and electron beams are directly abutted [29,30].…”

Radiotherapy represents an efficacious and economical treatment option in cases of persistent lymphorrhea and is able to reduce the risk of secondary infection, to decrease the duration of hospitalization, and to reduce overall costs for the individual patient. Daily scoring of treatment efficacy is recommended, because radiotherapy can be terminated as soon as lymphorrhea has stopped. Very low total doses with 0.3-0.5 Gy fraction size are recommended up to a maximum of 10-12 Gy in nonresponders.

Abstract: In our experience radiotherapy is not suitable for all stages of IPP. Only patients in the early stages of IPP-especially the ones who suffer from painful erection-should be considered suitable for treatment with ionising radiation.
