Digital droplet PCR-based quantification of ccfHPV-DNA as liquid biopsy in HPV-driven cervical and vulvar cancer
ConclusionsTherapy monitoring with determination of ccfHPV-DNA by ddPCR with a small amount of plasma reflects response to therapy and appears feasible for patients in advanced cancer stages of cervical and vulvar cancer. This promising tool should be examined as marker of therapy monitoring in particular in novel HPV-directed therapies. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Trends in the use of indocyanine green for sentinel lymph node mapping in vulvar cancer
The status of the inguinofemoral lymph nodes confers important prognostic and treatment information in cases of vulvar cancer. This status was historically evaluated using surgical exploration with en block resection of the lymphatic tissue in the inguinofemoral region. More recently, prospective trials have demonstrated the feasibility and oncologic safety of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for vulvar cancer,1,2 and there has been a gradual increase in the performance of SLN biopsies in the United States.

Treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with locally advanced vulvar or vaginal cancer in British Columbia
CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective study, chemoRT was not associated with significant improvements in survival compared to RT in vulvar or vaginal cancer. Future studies investigating novel therapies to treat these cancers are needed to improve patient outcomes.PMID:37348429 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2023.06.013 (Source: Gynecologic Oncology)

Secondary post-oncologic vulvar reconstruction – a simplified algorithm
DiscussionA systematic approach to secondary vulvar reconstruction can provide good surgical results with a low rate of complications. The geometry of the defect and the use of both traditional and perforator flaps should guide the choice of the reconstructive technique. (Source: Frontiers in Oncology)

Feasibility of intraoperative injection of radioactive tracer and blue dye for sentinel lymph node biopsy in vulvar cancer
CONCLUSION: In this cohort, the overall success rate of sentinel lymph node mapping and biopsy was 86.5%. The high rate of successful sentinel lymph node mapping supports the use of intraoperative radiotracer and blue dye injection by trained providers.PMID:37321154 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2023.05.067 (Source: Gynecologic Oncology)
