Carcinoma of the vulva.
The results of treatment of carcinoma of the vulva in patients referred to the Rotterdamsch Radio-Therapeutisch Instituut in the years 1965-1969 are reported. Electron beam therapy seems not to be the method of choice; surgery is to be preferred. Radiation therapy requires high doses (greater than or equal to 6 krad) and is frequently followed by severe induration with recurrent ulcerations.
