OBJECTIVE
To report the long-term results of vulvectomy, node dissection, and postoperative nodal irradiation using a midline vulvar block in patients with node positive vulvar cancer.
METHODS
From 1971 through 1992, 27 patients with carcinoma of the vulva and histologically involved inguinal lymph
Angiosarcomas are rare malignant tumors of endothelial origin with morphological properties similar to the vascular and lymphatic endothelium. Associated risk factors include chronic lymph edema and previously irradiated areas. Our patient is the first case report of an angiosarcoma of the mons
BACKGROUND
Radiation therapy (RT) plays a definitive role in locally advanced vulvar cancer, and in the adjuvant setting with high risk postoperative features after wide local excision. There is significant morbidity associated with traditional, large RT fields using 2D or 3D techniques, and the use
A retrospective analysis of 88 patients with vulvar cancer treated by radical vulvectomy and groin lymphadenectomy from July, 1958 to December, 1990 is presented. 88 cases are divided into two groups based on different operative methods: the enbloc group (25 cases) and the non-enbloc group (63
OBJECTIVE
Lymph node status is an important prognostic factor in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the vulva. Complete inguinofemoral lymph node dissection (ILND) is accompanied by a high morbidity. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was established for less invasive lymph node (LN)
BACKGROUND
Lower extremity edema remains a major postoperative complication after inguinal lymphadenectomy for vulvar cancer. This study documents the lymphatic drainage of the vulva versus the lymphatic drainage of the lower extremity coming through the femoral triangle.
METHODS
Seven patients
OBJECTIVE
Groin dissection is the procedure with the highest risk of lower limb lymphedema.As lymph stasis causes irreversible alterations to the limb over time,therapies should be administered in early stages,or better yet, lymphatic drainage impairment should be prevented.We developed a new
Numerous skin diseases occurring in the pregnant patient have been reported. Some of these diseases are unique to pregnancy and some, including vulvar varicosities, vulvar edema, postpartum labial adhesions, and hematomas, are a result of physiological changes of pregnancy or the birth process. In
The paper is concerned with the results of interstitial radiotherapy of 31 patients aged 30 to 76. Of them 18 patients had recurrences or metastases to the vagina, 9 patients--vulvar cancer, 4 patients--vaginal cancer. Interstitial radiotherapy with Co and 252Cf sources was used. A method of
The goal of our study was to determine clinical characteristics of women cancer survivors treated for secondary lymphedema, the time from cancer treatment to the development of lymphedema, and the effect of therapy on reduction of lymphedema and occurrence of erysipelas. We performed a retrospective
Inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy carries a high risk of lower limb lymphedema. This report describes the feasibility of performing multiple lymphatic-venous anastomoses (MLVA) after inguinofemoral lymph node completion (LYMPHA technique) and the possible benefit of LYMPHA for preventing
