Abstract

The objective of our present study was to evaluate the efficacy of radical vaginectomy with or without radical hysterectomy in patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage I and II vaginal cancers. A retrospective study was carried out on 11 patients aged 35 to 78 years. All the patients underwent radical surgery for vaginal cancer from April 2010 till June 2015. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to calculate the disease-free survival and overall survival at 12 months. The mean age of patients was 53.2 years. Ten patients were with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage I, whereas one had stage II vaginal cancer. The histology was squamous cell cancer in 9 patients and small cell neuroendocrine cancer in 2 patients. The lesion was confined to the upper two third of the vagina in 8 cases, and the lower one third was involved in 3 cases. All the patients underwent radical surgery. Lymph node dissection was done in 9 patients out of whom lymph nodes were positive in 3 patients. Two patients had positive margins. Adjuvant treatment was given to patients with positive margins or positive nodes. Five patients did not require any adjuvant treatment, and 1 patient defaulted adjuvant treat...Continue Reading
