[The posttherapy survival of patients with invasive cancer of the vulva].
The treatment results and five-years survival are studied in 157 patients with invasive vulvar cancer treated for the period of 1979-1988 in Gynaecological Clinic of the National Oncological Center Institute in Sofia. The general five years survival is 59.2%. The highest is the survival of the patients with first clinical stage--79.55%. The best treatment results are by patients treated with radical vulvectomy and regional lymph node dissection, without histological founded metastases in the extirpated lymph nodes--69.24% five years survival. The authors show some better results because of the better early diagnosis of the disease and the improved therapeutical methods.
