description Urethral cancer (UC) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. Since local recurrence is common and associated with morbidity, case series have reported on the use of adjuvant radiotherapy. Radiotherapy treatment setup for malignancies of the penis can be challenging because of variability in anatomic positioning. This variability can lead to lack of reproducibility. We propose a novel external beam radiotherapy technique for the treatment of UC: prone positioning. This technique has been used to treat breast cancers successfully and can be used to treat any variety of penile malignancies. We present 2 patients who were treated using this positioning.
