Abstract:
:Treatment of invasive vulvar malignancy has become more individualized during the past decade. In the past, radical vulvectomy with bilateral inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy was the standard therapy for invasive squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma of the vulva. This is no longer always the case. The treatment of stage I and stage II invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva has become more individualized. Less radical surgery appears to produce the same results as ultraradical surgery. Wide local excision of early lesions associated with ipsilateral lymph node dissection appears to be adequate therapy in many cases. Likewise, treatment of early melanoma (0.75 mm in thickness) can be managed by wide local excision with or without groin dissection of the ipsilateral side. This more conservative approach has resulted in significantly fewer postoperative complications and has improved the self-image of many women undergoing treatment for vulvar malignancy.
