Excerpt

Traditional options for management of inguinal lymph node (ILN) metastases include surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, often in combination [1]. However, patient prognosis and outcomes may be more dependent upon cancer biology than the type and extent of treatment. Over time, nodal disease in the groin may either cease to respond to chemotherapy or maximal radiation treatment doses may be reached without achieving complete local control. Surgical options, including ilio-inguinal or combined superficial and deep groin dissections, can carry a complication rate as high as 50 % [2‐4], mainly related to wound dehiscence. Repeated surgical interventions may induce regional scarring, limiting the efficacy of subsequent procedures [5]. …
