446 patients with malignant tumour of the vulva were treated from 1956 to 1978. In 432 patients with invasive squamous cell carcinoma, a five-year survival rate of 43.1% was obtained after exclusive exposure to electron radiation. Severe complications were seen in 10.9% of the treated patients. On comparing the results with those obtained after electrocoagulation or vulvectomy, it was seen that a therapy based on electron radiation only yielded more favourable results, especially in cases with advanced stage carcinomas. In younger women with early tumour stages, surgery should be given preference.

Introduction: Racial disparities in prostate cancer (PC) are well studied among Black or African American (BAA) patients but not among Hispanics, a quickly growing US minority group. This study compared overall survival (OS) and healthcare resource utilization (HRU) by race in Medicaid-insured patients with metastatic castration-sensitive PC (mCSPC) and metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective longitudinal cohort study of Medicaid claims was conducted to estimate racial disparities in OS (with a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model) and in HRU (with a multivariable Poisson model), adjusting for confounding by demographic and clinical characteristics.
