Single agent cisplatin chemotherapy in surgically resected vulvar cancer patients with multiple inguinal lymph node metastases

In patients affected by vulvar cancer with multiple lymph node metastases, radical surgery followed by chemotherapy is a feasible strategy, with an acceptable short- and long-term complication rate. Results in terms of overall survival and disease-free survival are promising. Furthermore, due to absence of local long-term tissue toxicity, this strategy allows physicians to surgically treat regional lymph node recurrence safely.
