Groin surgery may be more effective than groin irradiation in the prevention of groin recurrence in early vulvar cancer.
A Cochrane review included 1 study. The groin recurrence rate after radiotherapy was 0/25 (0%) compared to 5/27 (18.5%) after surgery. One case-control and one cohort study also showed a higher than expected number of groin recurrences after primary radiotherapy. Overall survival and progression free survival were significantly lower in the radiotherapy arm.
Comment: The quality of evidence is downgraded by study quality by imprecise results (few patients).
