Video Summary
In this video, Jillian O'Donnell, a gynecologic oncology fellow at the University of North Carolina, discusses the surgical management of vulvar cancer. She reviews landmark trials, including GOG37 and GOG88, which demonstrated improved overall survival with the addition of radiation therapy and lymphadenectomy for node-positive vulvar cancer. O'Donnell also discusses the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy in the treatment of vulvar cancer, highlighting the GroinZV study and GOG173, which established sentinel lymph node biopsy as an alternative standard of care. Lastly, she presents the results of a recent study that showed radiotherapy alone has a low recurrence rate and fewer long-term toxicities compared to completion lymphadenectomy for certain patients with vulvar cancer.
