Long-Term Results of Radiotherapy in Primary Carcinoma of the Vagina

Abstract: Background:The long-term results of radiotherapy in primary carcinoma of the vagina are not well defined. Patients and Methods: The treatment results of 41 patients with primary malignancies of the vagina were analyzed. The mean follow-up period was 77.3 months (2.3-404 months). The predominant histology was squamous cell carcinoma, FIGO stages I: n = 7 (17.1%), II: n = 13 (31.7%), III: n = 13 (31.7%), and IVa: n = 8 (19.5%). Radiotherapy was the primary treatment for all patients. None of the patients had und… Show more

“…The standard treatment is radiotherapy, which utilizes external beam radiation [EBRT] and/or brachytherapy [BT] techniques [6,22,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. The addition of concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy has been recently incorporated in the treatment of this malignancy [62][63][64][65].…”

“…Its benefit lies in detecting recurrent tumor and the distinction between scar and malignant tissue. Normally the isotope used is 18 F-fluordeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG)-PET. Unfortunately, it has its limitation in the difficulty of depicting tumor lesions precisely due to accumulation, also in normal tissues or inflammatory lesions [37].…”

“…Die Einteilung wird hierbei allein aufgrund von Defiziten und Ressourcen vorgenommen, unabhängig vom Alter des Patienten und von der Art der Tumorerkrankung. Der funktionelle Status des Patienten orientiert sich hierbei am Barthel-Index zur Beurteilung der Aktivitäten des täglichen Lebens (ADL), am IADL zur Beurteilung der erweiterten werden kann [17,18,28]. Nach einer Metaanalyse von Rubenstein et al zeigen sich durch die Kombination von Assessment und zielgerichteter Behandlung eine deutliche Senkung der Mortalität (Reduktion der 6-Monats-Mortalität um 37% bei stationären Patienten einer Geriatrie) sowie eine Zunahme der Selbstständigkeit des Patienten im Alltag [36].…”
