51
Q

In a vulval cancer with a lateralized tumour undergoing a SLN procedure, if there is a unilateral SLN that is metastatic what is the recommended action and what is the contralateral groin recurrence risk?

A

Treat the ipsilateral groin with LND or RT as per groins V2. No further action needed on contralateral groin. Recurrence risk in contalateral groin is 2%.

52
Q

In a vulval cancer with a lateralised tumour undergoing a SLN procedure, if there is a Bilateral SLN mapping and one side is metastatic and the other negative what is the recommended treatment and what is the recurrence risk in the contralateral groin.

A

Treat the +ve groin as per GROINS V2 and no further action in the contralateral groin. The risk of recurrence int eh contralateral groin is 6.1%.

53
Q

In a cancer with a lateralised tumour undergoing a SLN procedure, if there is a Bilateral SLN mapping and both sides are +ve what is the recommended action.

A

Both groins need treating as per the size of the mets as per GROINS 2.

54
Q

IN a vulval cancer with a near midline tumour (within 1cm of the mid-line) if there is unilateral flow and the LN was +ve what is the recommended action and what is the contralateral recurrence rate?

A

The +ve groin is treated as per GROINS V2 with no treatment of the non-mapping groin. The risk of recurrence in that groin is 2.2%.

55
Q

IN a vulval cancer with a near midline tumour (within 1cm of the mid-line) if there is bilateral flow and one side is +ve and the other -ve. What is the recommended treatment and what is the recurrence risk in the other groin?

A

Treat the +ve groin as per GROINS V2 with no further treatment for the -ve groin. The risk of recurrence in the contralateral groin is 3.3%

56
Q

In a MIDLINE tumour with unilateral lymph flow on SLN how do you manage this intra operatively?

A

Undertake a SLN on the mapping side and do a complete LND on the non-mapping side. This is in accordance with the ESGO 2023 guideline.

57
Q

IN a vulval cancer with a near midline tumour (within 1cm of the mid-line) if there is bilateral flow and both sides are positive What is the recommended treatment?
