Radiotherapy is not indicated in patients with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and only one occult intracapsular groin node metastasis.

CONCLUSION: Because of the low risk of groin recurrence and the excellent groin recurrence-free survival, we recommend that adjuvant radiotherapy to the groin in patients with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and a single occult intracapsular lymph node metastasis can be safely omitted to prevent unnecessary toxicity and morbidity.
