The risks of anal and vulvar cancer are strongly related to cigarette smoking. Smokers are exposed to a substantial quantity of tobacco-specific nitrosamines, including 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK). NNK is present in the mucus of the female genital tract. The enzyme

Cancer of the vulva is a rare disease accounting for only 3 to 5% of all gynaecologic cancers. The incidence rates of this cancer vary depending upon the country considered, the lowest rates being reported for Asian and African populations. An increased incidence of in situ carcinomas of the vulva
The relative frequency of histologically diagnosed cancer at the Chiang Mai Medical School in North Thailand in 1964-67 inclusive is examined.Most of the 1877 cancers seen are in Thais (males, 927; females, 908), the remainder arising in Chinese (males, 21; females, 12), Hill People (males, 6;
OBJECTIVE
To determine the impact of margin status on disease recurrence and the incidence of occult cancer in women diagnosed with vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) III and treated with surgical excision.
METHODS
Between 1989 and 1995, 73 women were diagnosed preoperatively with VIN III by
The association between the human papillomavirus (HPV) and malignant neoplasms of the uterine cervix is well established; however, its role in the pathogenesis of vulvar cancer has not been well defined. This study correlates the clinical and histopathologic features of 21 invasive carcinomas of the
The rather rare vulvar cancer is almost always a squamous cell carcinoma that mostly develops from an underlying VIN or HPV infection. In addition, lichen sclerosus et atrophicans, immune deficiency, nicotine abuse or anogenital intraepithelial neoplasias may play a role in the pathogenesis.
Metastatic carcinoma to the vulva is rare, where the incidence is believed to be between 5% and 8%. However, malignant tumors have been described in 3-11% of systemic scleroderma (SSc) cases. We report the case of one patient, a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman, whose medical history was marked with
In spite of efforts to reduce complications associated with inguinal-femoral lymphadenectomy (IFL), morbidity continues to be substantial. We sought to assess the efficacy of sartorius transposition (ST) in reducing groin wound complications following IFL, in patients with vulvar malignancy. The
