PURPOSE: Patient abstract not available


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Vulvar Cancer Procedure: regional lymph node dissection Radiation: radiation therapy Phase 3

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of pelvic node resection vs. bilateral groin and pelvic node irradiation for invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva in patients having positive groin nodes.

OUTLINE: Randomized study. Arm I: Surgery. Deep pelvic node dissection on sides containing positive nodes only. Arm II: Radiotherapy. Megavoltage (1 MeV or greater) to bilateral groin and pelvic nodes.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Anticipated annual accrual is approximately 200 patients, with an active phase estimated at 2.5-3 years. Protocol closed July 1984.
