Source: MDLinx, January 2021
Researchers conducted this retrospective multicentre cohort study with the aim to determine clinicopathological characteristics, treatment patterns, clinical outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with vulvar melanoma (VM).
Although rarely occurring gynecological cancer, vulvar melanoma is associated with poor prognosis due to its high metastatic potential.
Among 198 included women with VM, the majority (75.8%) had localized disease at diagnosis.
