 | | Thirty-one patients were treated with adjuvant radiation therapy to the vulva and 31 patients were observed after surgery. | | | Local recurrence occurred in 58% of observed patients and 16% in patients treated with adjuvant radiation therapy. | | | Adjuvant radiation therapy significantly reduced local recurrence rates in both the close margin and positive margin groups (p = 0.036, p = 0.0048). |

| | Adjuvant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Adjuvant therapy refers to additional treatment given after a main mode of therapy, which is usually surgery. | | | Neoadjuvant therapy, in contrast to adjuvant therapy, is given before the main treatment. | | | Similarly, in immunology an adjuvant is an agent which, while not having any specific antigenic effect in itself, may stimulate the immune system, increasing the response to a vaccine. |

| | The primary treatment is usually surgery and the adjuvant therapy is usually drug therapy or radiation therapy. | | | Because you can't measure the effect of adjuvant therapy in any individual patient, conclusions about the effectiveness of adjuvant therapy rely more strongly on statistical evidence than is the case for other cancer therapy, and the case for very carefully controlled randomized trials is at its strongest. | | | Adjuvant therapy is additional treatment that is given after primary treatment for apparently localized cancer. |

| | Adjuvant chemotherapy has been used to prevent recurrence; however, definitive data are lacking on the effectiveness of adjuvant therapy, and there is no information available about which patients may benefit the most. | | | Moreover, the authors found that among patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy, optimal staging was associated with a statistically significant improvement in overall and recurrence-free survival. | | | The analysis also found that 5-year recurrence-free survival was 11% better in the adjuvant chemotherapy arm than in the observation arm. |
