Role of radiotherapy in the management of vulvar cancer: Recommendations of the Société française de radiothérapie oncologique, 2025 update

Abstract

Primary vulvar carcinomas are rare gynaecological cancers, for which surgery is the mainstay of treatment. There is however a major place for external beam radiotherapy in the situation of inoperable locally advanced tumours and/or as adjuvant therapy, when there are risk factors for locoregional relapse. We present the 2025 update of recommendations from the Société française de radiothérapie oncologique on the indications and techniques for radiotherapy in the treatment of primary vulvar cancer.
