Squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva: Prognostic factors influencing survival

Squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva: prognostic factors influencing survival.

One hundred seventy-two cases of patients with squamous cell cancer of the vulva treated at the University of Michigan Medical Center from 1975 to 1988 are reported. The mean age was 66 years with a range of 21 to 101 years. The distribution by stage included Stage I, 65; Stage II, 44; Stage III, 50; and Stage IV, 13 patients.

Prognostic factors associated with local recurrence in squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva

OBJECTIVE To analyze the prognostic factors related to the recurrence rate of vulvar cancer. METHODS Retrospective study of 87 patients diagnosed of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed at a tertiary hospital in Madrid between January 2000 and December 2010. RESULTS The pathological mean tumor size was 35.1±22.8 mm, with stromal invasion of 7.7±6.6 mm. The mean free margin after surgery...

Prognostic factors influencing survival after nephroureterectomy for transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract.

We analyzed the prognostic factors influencing survival after surgeries for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUT-UC) with longer follow-up periods than in previous studies. Between January 2000 and December 2004, 386 patients underwent nephroureterectomy for UUT-UC. The data for the 221 patients with UUT-UC were retrospectively reviewed. Nine variables were evaluated for association wi...
