title: New NCCN Guidelines for Vulvar Cancer.
abstract: For the first time, NCCN Guidelines are available for vulvar cancer, a rare gynecologic cancer. Early-stage cancers can be managed by surgery and observation, and many of these patients can be cured. Lymph node status drives treatment and correlates with survival. Positive groinal nodes require additional therapy, including radiation plus chemotherapy, depending on stage. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is recommended in selected patients.
