Prognostic impact of p16 and high‐risk HPV DNA in ~1300 patients with vulvar cancer
What's New? Vulvar cancer (VSCC) is rare, and little is known about early prognostic factors that could contribute to an individualized treatment plan. About 30%–40% of VSCCs are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). Here, the authors investigated the prognostic influence of p16 status in VSCC in a large cohort of 1300 patients.
