Vulvar cancer.
Historically, nearly all vulvar cancer is managed by ultraradical surgery. Currently, individualized and more surgically conservative approaches achieve equivalent outcomes with far less morbidity and cosmetic disfiguration. Microinvasive disease can be cured with local excision only. Lateral lesions are usually managed with local excision and ipsilateral groin node dissection only. Advanced disease responds remarkably to chemoradiation.
