Vulvar cancer is a rare gynecologic malignancy whose primary treatment is surgical. It is not uncommon for patients to delay seeking medical attention or for physicians to delay diagnosing the condition. The most prevalent vulvar cancer is squamous cell carcinoma, with vulvar melanoma being the second most common. The basic understanding of the anatomy

In recent years, data have been accumulated regarding risk factors for metastatic potential and have improved the understanding of the pathways and frequency of lymphatic dissemination. Proper application of this information allows individualization of treatment to obtain optimal cure rates with minimum morbidity in patients with vulvar malignancy.

Surgery and radiotherapy in vulvar cancer
Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2006The majority of patients with vulvar cancer have squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). The cornerstone of the treatment is surgery. Radical vulvectomy with "en bloc" inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy has led to a favorable prognosis but with impressive morbidity.

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1999Vulvar cancer is an uncommon disease, marked by typical long delays in diagnosis due to lack of awareness by doctors and patients. The most common histology is squamous, although melanoma, sarcoma and adenocarcinoma occur less frequently. The predictable spread pattern of vulvar cancer to regional then distant lymphatics has allowed for improvements in

Vulvar cancer and vaginal cancer are relatively rare tumors, typically affecting elder women, although they still represent the fourth and fifth, respectively, most common cancers in the gynecologic oncology field. Treatment of the early stages includes surgery and radiotherapy (external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy).
