title="Radical interstitial HDR brachytherapy in treatment of recurrent vulvar cancer: a case study",
abstract=" Background : Recurrences in vulvar cancer are a very important problem. It is estimated that even in multimodality treatment, about 10-20% of patients with the early stage and 50-70% with the advanced disease will develop recurrences. Interstitial High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy as a “boost” or as a sole treatment is one of the possible techniques in local failures in vulvar cancer therapy.   Case report:  We report a case of a vulvar cancer local recurrence in a 90-year-old patient after primary surgery who was treated successfully and radically with interstitial HDR brachytherapy.    Conclusion : Interstitial HDR Brachytherapy in selected patients with a vulvar cancer local recurrence is   an effective and safe method which allows to preserve organ functions with good cosmetic results.",
