Combination therapy - precision medicine
Treatment for a vulvar malignancy depends on the stage of the illness. Sometimes the only option is surgery, and sometimes a combination between radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be sufficient. Depending on the situation we will choose the best treatment, keeping in mind all potential side effects of the treatment. We are currently running a trial in which we assess whether we can spare more tissue by providing pretreatment with chemotherapy, which shrinks the tumor.
