Introduction: Vulval cancer is a disease of an increasing elderly population and consequently comorbidities are common. These conditions may preclude the application of standard therapy.
Objective: To review the outcome of women with vulval cancer older than 80 years comparing those who received recommended treatment (protocol-adherent) with those who did not (protocol-violated).
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed data from 100 women with Stage I endometrial cancer, focusing on the effects of omental biopsy in diagnosing extrapelvic disease.* -
- Out of the participants, 80 underwent an omental biopsy, with six cases showing adenocarcinoma in the omentum; no significant complications were reported from the procedure.* -
- The findings suggest that visual inspection and biopsy of the omentum during surgery can reveal more extensive disease, potentially changing treatment plans for around 10% of patients who may need additional pelvic radiation.*
