Would you offer adjuvant radiotherapy to a recurrent HPV-independent vulvar cancer located close to the anus, which was resected with very close (0.8 mm) margins?
Are you more inclined to recommend adjuvant radiation for vulvar cancer with negative margins if the location of the tumor would preclude re-excision?
