Objective: To assess clinical outcomes of inguinal lymph node surgical resection compared to primary groin radiotherapy for locally advanced, surgically unresectable vulvar cancer.
Methods: All patients treated with radiation for vulvar cancer were identified between Jan 1, 2000 - Dec 31, 2020 at 2 academic centres. Inclusion criteria were those treated with curative intent primary radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy, tumors >4 cm, and surgically unresectable squamous cell vulvar carcinoma.
In vivo imaging has revolutionised the study of leukocyte trafficking and revealed many insights on the dynamic behaviour of immune cells in their native environment. Neutrophil migration represents a prominent example whereby live imaging led to discovery of unanticipated cell migration patterns. These cells are the first to enter inflammatory sites and their recruitment had once been thought to be driven primarily by extrinsic signals and resolved by apoptosis in these lesions.
