@entity1 @entity242 @entity5 @entity786 @entity4316 @entity1891 @entity1962
Results of treating 14 @entity1 with @entity242 botryoides of the female genital tract are reviewed. Nine @entity1 were younger than four years old and five were older than 14. @entity5 were in the vagina (eight), cervix (three), vulva (one), and cervicovaginal region (two). All but one @entity1 underwent surgery, including wide local excision (one), vaginectomy (one), hysterectomy (one), hysterectomy and vaginectomy (two), anterior exenteration (two), and total pelvic exenteration (six). A combination of @entity1891 , @entity4316 , and @entity786 was the chemotherapy regimen most frequently administered. Only one of the nine @entity1 receiving chemotherapy died from recurrence. One @entity1 with disease too extensive for surgery received intraarterial vincristine and radiation therapy; 16 years later she developed an @entity1962 of the uterus. @entity242 recurred in three @entity1 . This review of @entity1 treated between 1956 and 1983 reflects the evolution of therapy over 30 years. Conservative surgery alone was inadequate; therefore, radical (exenterative) surgery was adopted; recently less extensive surgery has been combined with chemotherapy, producing satisfactory results.
