Abstract : Vulvar cancers are rare tumors that are often treated late due to symptoms being overlooked by patients. Surgery remains the best therapeutic option. Concurrent radiochemotherapy, conservative surgery with sentinel lymph node biopsy are used in early-stage cases.On the other hand, radical surgery and lymph node dissection are the preferred treatments for advanced stages, although they carry a high risk of morbidity.

Keywords : Vulvar Cancer, Diagnostic Stages, Vulvectomy, Chemotherapy, Sentinel Node, Vulvar Radiotherapy.
