Abstract
Radiation therapy plays a critical role in the management of locally advanced vulvar cancers but can lead to a unique spectrum of side effects, with >25% of patients experiencing high-grade toxicities. The treatment phase requires meticulous perineal skincare and may require pharmacologic management of dysuria and cystitis, diarrhea, nausea, and dermatitis/mucositis. The addition of chemotherapy warrants close laboratory monitoring for hematologic and metabolic derangements.
