A Phase II Trial of Radiation Therapy and Weekly Cisplatin Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Locally-Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva

This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin
followed by surgery works in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the vulva.
Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cisplatin use different ways to stop tumor cells from
dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage
tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor
so it can be removed during surgery.

OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the efficacy of radiotherapy and cisplatin, in terms of achieving a complete
clinical and pathological response, in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma
of the vulva that is not amenable to standard radical vulvectomy.

II. Determine the toxicity of this regimen followed by surgery in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo radiotherapy daily on days 1-5 and receive concurrent cisplatin IV over 30
minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats weekly for approximately 6.5 weeks (a total of 32
fractions of radiotherapy) in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Six to eight weeks after the completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients with a complete
clinical response may undergo incisional biopsy of the primary tumor and bilateral
inguinal/femoral nodes (if the groin nodes were initially unresectable). Patients with
microscopic or gross resectable residual disease may then undergo radical resection of the
residual tumor. Patients with unresectable disease after the completion of chemoradiotherapy
receive additional radiotherapy with 1-2 courses of concurrent cisplatin.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then
annually thereafter.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva

- T3 or T4 (N0-3, M0)

- Not amenable to surgical resection by standard radical vulvectomy

- Previously untreated disease

- No recurrent disease

- No vulvar melanoma or sarcoma

- Performance status - GOG 0-3

- Platelet count at least 100,000/mm^3

- Bilirubin no greater than 1.5 times normal

- Alkaline phosphatase no greater than 3 times normal

- SGOT no greater than 3 times normal

- Creatinine no greater than 2.0 mg/dL

- No gastrointestinal bleeding

- No severe gastrointestinal symptoms

- Capable of tolerating a radical course of chemoradiotherapy

- No septicemia

- No severe infection

- No other invasive malignancy within the past 5 years except nonmelanoma skin cancer

- No circumstance that would preclude study completion or follow-up

- No prior cytotoxic chemotherapy

- No prior pelvic radiotherapy

- No concurrent boost brachytherapy

- No prior anticancer therapy that would contraindicate study therapy
