Squamous cell carcinoma: What is the recommended treatment usually?

Posted by rdemarco65 @rdemarco65, 4 days ago

Looking for a treatment plan for this type of cancer. For my wife she is covered by kiaser but they can’t seem to come up with the right treatment plan

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Gynecologic Cancers Support Group.

Well they put a plan together 6 weeks of chemo radiation together

I have squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva. The cancer was removed surgically, but pathology showed I am Stage 3, because I have cancer in a left lymph node and a clean margin was not achieved. So, I just started a plan of 6 low-dose Cisplatin chemo infusions and 33 sessions of radiation.

Hopefully, you will get answer soon.

@jade2026 I’d had several biopsies and radical surgeries with lymph node dissections from 1987 to 1992. The manufacturers of Accutane understood that clinical trials revealed diminished pre-cancerous lesions, but with no explanation. I talked them into sending samples to my gynecologist, and it successfully shrank and dried the area of recurring vulvar lesions. I also talked my gynecologist in to Interleukin 2 injections directly into the lesions. In 1992, a scientist from CDC was looking at immunotherapy for AIDS and fatigue syndromes. I talked him into considering reoccurring cancers..I was his lab-rat. Taking a portion of my frequent biopsies, he grew it, killed it, then added something to make it injectable into closest remaining lymph node. In our discussions, I suggested the existence of a (still unknown stem cell) basic from which our B and T cells originated. He was PHD Dr. Jim McCoy who later partnered on this research. He died suddenly after a symposium, and his partner went on to win recognition for the discovery. All of these methods kept me working comfortably until a brave surgeon heard about my case, and did a radicle wide excision, and it never returned. Getting away from a stressful environment helped, too.
