Advanced primary squamous carcinoma of the vagina treated with carboplatinum (JM 8). A case report.
Primary cancer of the vagina is one of the rarest malignant neoplasms: radiotherapy is the most frequently used treatment and local recurrences remain a constant problem. We describe a case of invasive squamous carcinoma of the vagina submitted to neoadjuvant therapy with carboplatinum. Pathological findings after surgery were completely negative for cancer.
