“…Green [14] and others [3,4,7] have reported no positive pelvic nodes in the absence of positive groin nodes. However, Green postulated that even if pelvic lymph nodes were histologically negative, submicroscopic disease might be present in up to 20% of cases, so the lymphadenectomy would by therapeutic for these patients.…”

“…Most authors suggest that invasive vulvar cancer should be treated by radical vulvectomy and bilateral groin dissection, reserving pelvic lymphadenectomy for patients with positive groin nodes [3][4][5]. However, Curry et al [6] reported that none of their patients with fewer than four positive unilateral groin nodes had positive pelvic nodes, although two (8%) subsequently developed pelvic metastases.…”

“…However, Curry et al [6] reported that none of their patients with fewer than four positive unilateral groin nodes had positive pelvic nodes, although two (8%) subsequently developed pelvic metastases. For patients with carcinoma of the clitoris or Bartholin's gland, pelvic lymphadenectomy has been considered part of the primary treatment [3,7,8]. Piver and Xynos [9] and Curry et al [6], however, have shown recently that positive pelvic nodes are rare in the absence of inguinal-femoral nodal metastases in carcinoma of the clitoris.…”

SummaryAmong women genital malignancies are second in frequency only to breast cancer. Primary disease sites include the endometrium, cervix, ovary, and vulva. With early diagnosis and aggressive therapy, two-thirds of these women will survive for at least 5 years. This encouraging prognosis is in contrast to the distress that may be experienced by women during diagnosis, treatment, and recovery periods. A brief review of major avenues of current research and clinical work is provided, including; psychological responses to gynecologic cancer symptomatology; affective distress; sexual problems; and treatment-related distress. Areas for future investigation are highlighted, including difficulties occurring with disease recurrence; disruption of close relationships; and problems of the elderly woman with cancer.

“…Pruritus is often a longstanding and common presenting complaint, though most women present with a lump (Morley, 1976). In either case, it is not surprising for a woman to think that she may have a vaginal infection or venereal disease from the symptomatology.…”

Approximately 75,000 new cases of gynecologic cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year. Since few women can be treated by chemotherapy alone, most undergo extensive treatments that directly alter their sexuality either by causing specific anatomic changes or by generating concerns about continued responsiveness or activity. The major treatments for gynecologic malignancies including radiation therapy or radical hysterectomy for cervical carcinoma, radical vulvectomy for vulvar carcinoma, and pelvic exenteration for recurrent disease, are outlined. Research relating to their effects on female sexuality is critically reviewed. Also discussed are the relevant domains of treatment and patient characteristics that need assessment and investigation in this new and important research area.
