[The role of radiation therapy in the treatment of recurrent carcinoma of the vulva after surgery].
This is a retrospective analysis of 25 patients with recurrent carcinoma of the vulva treated by radiation therapy at Bydgoszcz Regional Cancer Center between 1980-95 years. Tumour complete regression were observed in 16 cases. Nine patients were alive without evidence of the disease with a follow-up from 20 to 76 months; median 35.2 months. The results showed that important prognostic significance had: the pattern of recurrence, time interval to relapse and size of recurrent tumour. Also, it seems that results of treatment strongly depends on the total dose of radiation used in the treatment.
