Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 5581: Is There a Place for Brachytherapy in Vulvar Cancer? A Narrative Review
e Jesús Romero Vulvar cancer is a relatively rare neoplasm. The essential treatment is surgery for the primary tumour. However, postoperative recurrence rates are high, even in early-stage disease when tumour-free surgical margins are achieved or in the absence of associated risk factors (lymph node metastases, deep stromal invasion or invasion of the lymphatic vascular space). Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of vulvar cancer. Adjuvant treatment after surgery as well as primary treatment of locally advanced vulvar cancer (LAVC) is composed of two key radiotherapy treatment scenarios, external b...

Incidence and survival of gynecologic cancer including cervical, uterine, ovarian, vaginal, vulvar cancer and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in Korea, 1999-2019: Korea Central Cancer Registry
CONCLUSION: In Korea, the incidence of cervical cancer and GTN decreased, whereas the incidence of uterine, ovarian, and vulvar cancer increased from 1999 to 2019. The RSR for uterine, ovarian, and vulvar cancers showed consistent improvements over different periods. Effective screening programs and the adoption of advanced treatments may be necessary to further reduce the burden of gynecologic cancer.PMID:37953552 | DOI:10.5468/ogs.23208 (Source: Cancer Control)

Anxiety and depression among women with newly diagnosed vulvar cancer – A nationwide longitudinal study
ConclusionsWomen with newly diagnosed vulvar cancer report a high level of anxiety at diagnosis. Despite a significant improvement, anxiety remains widely prevalent during the first year of follow-up. Targeting insomnia, vulvar symptoms and unmet needs may decrease anxiety during surveillance.

Comorbidity in patients with Lichen sclerosus: a retrospective cohort study
This study confirmed the association between LS and vulvar cancer (OR = 17.4; 95% CI 12.1-25.3), penis cancer (OR = 9.1; 95% CI 4.3-18.9), prostate cancer (OR = 2.0; 95% CI 1.6-2.4) and breast cancer (OR = 1.6; 95% CI 1.4-1.8). LS was also associated with Crohn´s disease (OR = 2.0; 95% CI 1.6-2.6) and diabetes mellitus type 1 (OR = 1.9; 95% CI 1.6-2.1). The present study revealed novel important data regarding the association of LS with cancer and autoimmune diseases, emphasising the importance of sufficient treatment and follow-up of patients with LS. However, future studies are needed to confirm these results and the po...
