GYN Flashcards
Vulvar cancer: 5yr OS for stage I-IV
5yr OS

extends to pelvic wall or causes hydronephrosis and/or nonfunctioning kidney
3D Tandem and Ovoid Narrative
I would take the patient to the OR and place her in the dorsal lithotomy position and administer general anesthesia. I’d perform an EUA to assess response. I would prep with betadine. A foley catheter would then be inserted to drain the bladder and the foley bulb inflated with 10cc 1:9 gadolinium/saline (1cc gadolinium+9 cc saline). (Optional: inject saline into bladder and clamp foley). The uterus would be sounded to assess distance to the fundus and flexion, and the appropriate tandem inserted with the largest ovoids that could be accommodated. Packing would be placed anteriorly and posteriorly to the device with gauze soaked with saline and clindamycin ointment to pack away from the bladder and rectum. (Optional: small amount of gadolinum at cervix before placing packing). I would then transfer the patient to radiology for MRI (may need to insert catheters with water into the applicator for visualization)
Uterine sarcoma T2b, FIGO IIB
involves other pelvic tissues
Vagina T2, FIGO II
tumor invading paravaginal tissue (T2a<2cm, T2b>2cm)

Endometrium: what FIGO stage is para-aortic node involvement?
FIGO IIIC2
Endometrial cancer: stage III-IVA treatment paradigm and chemo doses
surgery, adjuvant WPRT with concurrent cisplatin, outback carbo/taxol (PORTEC 3, GOG 258, RTOG 9708)

adjuvant carbo (AUC 5) and paclitaxel (175) x 4 (PORTEC 3)
Cervix: what FIGO stage is regional node involvement?
FIGO IIIB
Endometrium T4, FIGO IVA
invades bladder or bowel mucosa
Vagina T4, IVA
invading bladder or rectum or extending beyond true pelvis
Uterine sarcoma T4, FIGO IVA
invades bladder or rectum
Endometrium T2, FIGO II
cervical stromal invasion
Cervical cancer: indications for parametrial boost and dose utilized
Indication: parametrial involvement when treating definitive cervix
5.4-9 Gy boost after 45 Gy to pelvis
Cervical cancer: indications for post-op chemoradiation
Peters criteria:
positive nodes
positive margins
parametrial involvement
Vulvar cancer: indications for treating primary site
Heaps’ criteria:
positive margin
close margin of <8mm
LVSI
increasing depth (some use >5 mm)
Endometrial cancer: postop WPRT classic fields and 3D contours
Field borders: superior L4/L5 to inferior at bottom of obturator foramen, 2 cm on pelvic brim, ant in front of pubic symphysis, post is at S2/3
Contours for 3D or IMRT: common, external and internal iliacs, presacral nodes, parametrium and postop area, vaginal cuff and upper 3 cm of vagina.
Cervical cancer: indications for post-op radiation
Sedlis criteria (need at least two):
LVSI
size >4 cm
≥2/3 stromal invasion
Endometrial cancer: postop HDR criteria
Grade 1-2 with >50% invasion
Grade 3 with <50% invasion
Vulvar cancer: workup
H&P, sexual history, GYN exam (vulva, speculum, bimanual, rectovaginal, inguinal nodes), PAP smear, vulvar biopsy.
Labs: CBC, CMP, UA, pregnancy test
Imaging: CXR, CT scan, consider MRI and PET. Consider EUA with cystoscopy or sigmoidoscopy
surgery: radical local resection or modified radical vulvectomy with SLN bx. Use unilateral SLN for Stage I. For <2cm size and >2 cm from midline can do unilateral SLN or inguinal node dissection. Can do SLN if size <4cm and no positive nodes and no prior surgery
Vagina T1, FIGO I
tumor confined to vagina (T1a<2cm, T1b>2cm)

surgery
(per NCCN may observe if complete response confirmed with biopsy)
