Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, and Surgery in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Cancer of the Vulva

Study:

A Phase II Trial of Radiation Therapy and Weekly Cisplatin Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Locally-Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva

Rationale:

Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cisplatin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so it can be removed during surgery.

Purpose:

This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin followed by surgery works in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the vulva.
