    Elective irradiation of ilioinguinal lymph nodes effectively controls regional metastases for various cancers. Complications were dose-related, with few regional failures observed in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Regional lymph node metastasis is a critical factor in cancer prognosis.
    • Elective treatment of at-risk lymph node basins is a common strategy.
    • Limited data exists on elective ilioinguinal lymph node irradiation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of elective ilioinguinal lymph node irradiation.
    • To compare outcomes with other treatment modalities like lymph node dissection.
    • To assess complication rates and their relationship to radiation dose.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 91 patients treated between 1964 and 1980.
    • Inclusion of patients with cancers of the vulva, penis, urethra, anus, cervix, and vagina.

  • Standard radiation doses of 4500-5000 rad over 5 weeks were administered.

    • Main Results:

    • Only two regional failures occurred in patients with controlled primary tumors, both outside radiation fields.
    • The most significant complication was bilateral femoral neck fracture.
    • Mild to moderate fibrosis was observed in four patients; leg edema was rare and questionable.

    Conclusions:

    • Elective ilioinguinal irradiation demonstrates effective regional control for specific cancers.
    • Complications are dose-dependent, suggesting careful dose fractionation is crucial.
    • This modality offers an alternative to lymph node dissection with a manageable toxicity profile.
