 Radiochemotherapy for advanced vulvar cancer

In very large vulvar Surgery inDubai , radiotherapy is often combined with low-dose chemotherapy to shrink the tumor before surgery.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy may be given before surgery to reduce the size of the tumor or after surgery to destroy any remaining cancer cells.

The most common type of radiation therapy is external beam radiation therapy, which is delivered from a machine outside the body.When radiation therapy is performed with implants, it is called internal radiation therapy or brachytherapy.

 The radiation therapy regimen or program usually consists of a series of treatments given over a period of time. Learn about the basics of radiation therapy.


The effects of radiation therapy on vaginal and vulvar tissues may persist or change months or years after treatment is stopped. Before starting treatment, talk to your doctor about possible side effects and how to manage them.




One type of systemic treatment for vulvar cancer is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells, usually by stopping the cancer cells from growing, dividing, and forming.


If external beam radiation therapy is required for locally disseminated vulvar cancer, chemotherapy with cisplatin is sometimes given intravenously every week at the same time as radiation therapy (see “Chemoradiotherapy for advanced vulvar cancer” above).

If the cancer has spread beyond the pelvis or has come back, doctors sometimes consider taking drugs to treat cervical and vaginal cancer, which are other genital squamous cell carcinomas caused by HPV.

The use of these drugs depends on the patient's general health, kidney function as measured by laboratory tests, and other medical factors.

It is also important to tell your doctor if you are taking any prescription or over-the-counter medications or dietary supplements. Herbs, supplements, and other medications can interact with cancer drugs and cause unwanted side effects or decrease their effectiveness. 


Palliative care focuses on improving well-being during treatment by managing symptoms and supporting patients and their families with other non-medical needs. Anyone, regardless of age, type and stage of cancer, can receive such treatment.


 People receiving palliative care alongside cancer treatment often have less severe symptoms, a better quality of life, and report greater satisfaction with their treatment
