Inclusion Criteria

Patients with cancer of the penis fit to receive chemotherapy as palliative or definitive treatment or as treatment on relapse will be eligible. It is expected that the decision to include some groups of patients (e.g. T3, N1 patients) will depend on local policy – discussion within the MDT of all eligible patients will be encouraged.

Inclusion criteria
• Male, >18 years
• Measurable disease as determined by RECIST criteria
• Histologically-proven squamous cell carcinoma of the penis
• Stage:M1, or;
M0, any T, N3 (i.e. involvement of deep inguinal or pelvic lymph nodes) or;
M0, any T, N2 (i.e. involvement of multiple or bilateral superficial lymph nodes) and deemed inoperable by MDT, or;
M0, T3 N1 (tumour invades urethra or prostate and single inguinal lymph node involved) or;
M0, T4 (tumour invades other adjacent structures) any N
• GFR greater or equal to 60ml/min
• Performance Status ECOG 0, 1 or 2
• Written, informed consent

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To determine the activity of combination docetaxel, cisplatin and 5FU (TPF) chemotherapy in cancer of the penis and thus determine whether this regimen warrants further research.;Secondary Objective: • To determine the proportion of patients with inoperable locoregional disease rendered operable following TPF<br>• To evaluate safety and tolerability<br>• To assess progression-free and overall survival<br>;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is overall response rate (complete remission rate + partial remission rate). This will be objectively assessed by MRI or CT scan after completion of the proposed 3 cycles of TPF chemotherapy or at the time of discontinuation of chemotherapy. Scans will be reviewed centrally to confirm outcome.
