In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Vulvar cancer is a rare malignancy. Surgery is the treatment of choice, but frequently causes invalidating and chronic postoperative morbidity, especially in patients with high stage disease. Theoretically, downstaging with neoadjuvant chemotherapy could shrink the tumour, making surgical treatment less extensive thereby diminishing the chance for morbidity.
