Comparison of the treatment results in the vulvar and clitoris squamous cell carcinoma.

Treatment results in 360 patients with vulvar carcinoma during the time period from 1975 to 1994 were evaluated. Out of the whole group radical vulvectomy with bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy was performed in 215 patients. After excluding 35 patients having the Stage IV of the disease, 11 with malignant melanoma and 9 missing, in the group of remaining 160 cases with squamous cell carcinoma the survival rates of 3, 5 and 10 years were evaluated. Squamous cell carcinoma involvement of the clitoris in 40 patients out of this 160 cases has not confirmed clitoris localization as a poor prognostic factor.
