Includes bibliographical references (leaves 68-74). Vulval carcinoma is uncommon, affecting approximately 2 per 100 000 women annually. The treatment of choice is radical vulvectomy and inguinal lymph node dissection. ‘Advanced’ vulval carcinomas involve midline structures (such as clitoris, urethra or anus) and/or adjacent pelvic organs or bone, and adequate excision may require urinary diversion, colostomy or pelvic exenteration. Less morbid and less mutilating therapeutic alternatives have been investigated, particularly chemoradiation, which has shown significant success in the management of anal carcinomas. Primary chemoradiation has been used, instead of primary radical surgery, to treat advanced vulval carcinomas at Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) since1982. Aims: 1) To assess the survival of women with advanced vulval carcinoma treated with primary chemoradiation. 2) To examine the role of surgery after treatment with primary chemoradiation. 2014-07-28T14:48:44Z 2014-07-28T14:48:44Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MMed http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3054 eng application/pdf Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
