[Evaluation of 5-year surgical treatment outcome in patients with vulvar tumors].
A retrospective study of all patients with carcinoma of the vulva treated by surgery and/or radiation therapy, between 1980 and 1985, is reported. Sixty eight patients were analyzed for survival, recurrence patterns, complications and clinical features. The stages of disease were as follows: Stage I or II 49 pts, Stage III 13 pts and Stage IV 6 pts. The 5-year survival rate was 45.2%. Recurrences were diagnoses in 25% of the patients. With the less aggressive surgical approach used, combined with radiation therapy to eradicate subclinical disease, the morbidity rate was acceptable and the survival rate comparable to the reported after more aggressive surgery.
