Cisplatin-gemcitabine as palliative chemotherapy in advanced squamous vulvar carcinoma: report of two cases.

Vulvar cancer (VC) is a rare disease, usually diagnosed in a stage still amenable to potentially curative treatments, including surgery and/or radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy. Several patients however present at diagnosis with metastatic disease and another 30-50% will relapse. Prognosis of metastatic or recurrent disease not amenable to salvage surgery or radiotherapy is very poor.
