Outcomes of Radical Hysterectomy for Early-Stage Cervical Carcinoma, with or without Prior Cervical Excision Procedure.

Objective: To investigate the impact of a prior cervical excisional procedure on the oncologic outcomes of patients with apparent early-stage cervical carcinoma undergoing radical hysterectomy.

Methods: The National Cancer Database (2004-2015) was accessed, and patients with FIGO 2009 stage IB1 cervical cancer who had a radical hysterectomy with at least 10 lymph nodes (LNs) removed and a known surgical approach were identified. Patients who did and did not undergo a prior cervical excisional procedure (within 3 months of hysterectomy) were selected for further analysis.

Role of immunotherapy for lymph node positive vulvar melanoma: utilization and outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the utilization and outcomes of adjuvant immunotherapy for patients with vulvar melanoma and inguinal lymph node metastases.

Methods: The National Cancer Database was accessed and patients with vulvar melanoma diagnosed between 2004 and 2015 who did not have distant metastases, underwent inguinal lymphadenectomy, had positive lymph nodes, and at least 1 month of follow-up were identified. Administration of immunotherapy was evaluated and clinicopathological characteristics were compared.
