“…The radium therapy was highly individualized with an attempt to obtain an optimal dose to the vaginal canal and the paracolpic and parametrial region if involved by cancer. The details of the technique and dosimetry have been published elsewhere (15,16).…”

“…The details of the method for radiation treatment have been described elsewhere (15,16). The treatment policy has been that for early malignancy, only brachytherapy is used; for more advanced cases, both local and regional irradiation are used in order to achieve a better control rate.…”

“…Experience in managing primary carcinoma of the vagina is increasing steadily especially in major centers (5, 9,11,[15][16][17]. Today the consensus opinion regarding the method of treatment is radiation treatment for all stages of the disease, probably with the exception of carcinoma in situ in which wide local excision may be occasionally used, and stage IV A for which a combination of irradiation and surgery is indicated (9, The results from various centers seem to suggest that the prognosis for primary carcinoma of the vagina is about the same as the prognosis for carcinoma of the cervix, especially in the early stage of the disease (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)). This appears to be true if the 11-13, 15, 16).…”

Patterns of failures after definitive radiation therapy were analyzed in 88 patients with primary carcinoma of the vagina treated between 1957 and 1975. The majority of the local failures in early stages of the disease (I, I1 and a few 111) were due to inadequate treatment either by external beam therapy or brachytherapy. In some cases the inadequate treatments were unavoidable (previous radiation treatment) and in a few they were due to poor brachytherapy technique. Distant failures are still a problem and need to be given further attention.

“…La FIGO tampoco especifica cómo clasificar los tumores cuando presentan ganglios inguinales clínicamente positivos. La supervivencia a los cinco años oscila entre un 70-78% en el estadio I y un 28-0% en el estadio IV 40,41 . La American Joint Commitee for Cancer ha sugerido un sistema de clasificación TNM que clasifica a las pacientes con metástasis inguinales unilaterales como N1 (Estadio III) y aquellas con ganglios bilaterales como N2 (Estadio IVA), pero este sistema raramente se usa.…”

El conocimiento de los factores pronósticos nos sirve para intuir la evolución de la enfermedad y calcular la supervivencia del paciente, considerar las posibilidades de recaída, estratificar los pacientes en diferentes grupos, valorar el beneficio de administrar un tratamiento y la respuesta al mismo, comparar diferentes tratamientos y diseñar estudios. Dentro de los tumores ginecológicos se engloban los tumores de ovario, los uterinos, los tumores de cérvix, de vagina y de vulva. Según sea el origen de la célula de la que deriva el tumor, éstos pueden ser de origen epitelial, mesenquimal o sarcomatoso y de origen germinal. Únicamente se han recogido los factores pronósticos de los tumores epiteliales ya que corresponden a más del 90% de los tumores ginecológicos. El pronóstico de cada uno de ellos va venir determinado, en primer lugar, por el estadio tumoral, que en los tumores ginecológicos se determina según las normas de la International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetricts (FIGO). Además del estadio, en el pronóstico influyen también las características intrínsecas de la paciente como son la edad o el estado general, el tipo histológico y ciertas características de la célula tumoral.
