title: [Forms of treatment and results in invasive vulvar cancer].
abstract: Between 1970 and 1982, 113 patients were treated for invasive vulvar cancer in FIGO stages I-IV; 97 patients were available for follow-up. Forty-one patients (42.3%) underwent radical vulvectomy and lymphadenectomy, 21 underwent simple vulvectomy, and 12 (12.4%) had electric resection of the lesion; 42 patients (43.3%) received postoperative radiotherapy. The 5-year survival rate was 61.8% after surgery and radiotherapy. Five-year survival in stages I, II, and III was 85.3%, 60.7%, and 17.9%, respectively. Overall 5-year survival was 52.6%. Patients with small, highly differentiated squamous cell cancers, without lymph node involvement, did best.
