Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in
chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or
die. It is not yet known if radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy kills more tumor
cells than radiation therapy alone in treating cancer of the vulva.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of radiation therapy with
or without cisplatin in treating patients who have stage I, stage II, or stage III cancer of
the vulva.
