title: [Treatment of invasive vulvar cancer (results of therapy 1970-1981)].
abstract: Between 1970 and 1981 we saw 108 patients with vulvar carcinoma stages I-IV at the university clinic of Graz. 93 of them we could follow up at a minimum of 5 years. 15 patients died intercurrently. A radical vulvectomy with inguino-femoral lymphonodectomy could be done in 49 patients (45.4 per cent), a local excision or a simple vulvectomy in 27 patients (25 per cent). 7 patients have been irradiated primarily, 14 patients had no treatment. The best 5-year survival rate had the patients stage I operated on and/or irradiated postoperatively. Survival rate of stage II was 60.7 per cent, in stage III 18.5 per cent. Only 17 of 27 patients in this stage could be operated on.
