Résumé

Primary vulvar carcinomas are rare gynaecological cancers, for which surgery is the mainstay of treatment. There is however a major place for external beam radiotherapy in the situation of inoperable locally advanced tumours and/or as adjuvant therapy, when there are risk factors for locoregional relapse. We present the recommendations of the French society for radiation oncology on the indications and techniques for radiotherapy in the treatment of primary vulvar cancer.
