Abstract:
Squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva is a rare disease with good prognosis if diagnosed early. The standard primary therapy is surgery. Neoadjuvant radiation or chemotherapy has been used to achieve resectability of the tumor and to decrease the radicality of the surgery. Chemotherapy with platinum compounds, paclitaxel and targeted therapy (erlotinib) has shown activity. International collaborative trials are needed to identify the best therapeutic strategy for patients with squamous cell cancer of the vulva who are not candidates for primary surgery or concomitant chemoradiation. We review the various treatment options available to patients with advanced or recurrent squamous cell cancer of the vulva.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
