Sažetak
The aim of this retrospective study was to show the effect of clinical, pathologic,
cytologic and therapeutic prognostic factors on treatment outcome and survival of patients suffering
from vulvar cancer and to determine prognostic significance of each of the individual factors, their
mutual significance and impact on survival. The study included patients treated for vulvar cancer at
Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Osijek University Hospital Centre during the 2000-2011
period. Retrospective analysis included data from patient medical files, along with their pathologic and
cytologic findings, and oncologist findings. The study included 59 patients aged 45 to 88 years. Diagnosis
was based on pathologic and cytologic status and staging. Univariate analysis showed the lymph
node status, adjuvant radiotherapy, chemotherapy and clinical staging of the disease to be statistically
significant prognostic factors for overall survival and prognosis of vulvar cancer patients. Multivariate
analysis of independent prognostic factors for survival of vulvar cancer patients yielded lymph node
status, adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy as positive prognostic factors.
