Cryosurgery of Advanced Vulvar Carcinoma

ROBERT C. WALLACH, MD, FACOG

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Beth Israel Medical Center. Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, New York

Abstract

An advanced epidermoid carcinoma of the vulva was treated with cryosurgery when radical surgery was refused. The cryosurgery was well tolerated in an elderly patient with arterioselerotic heart disease, and local tumor control was achieved. Availability of sophisticated instrumentation for the destruction of tumors by freezing leads to broader indications for and increased use of this mode of therapy for vulvar and other malignancies.
