The risk of nodal metastasis increases with the stage of disease, the size of lesion, and the depth of invasion. These are the most important prognostic factors for vulvar cancer.
MRI may play a role in evaluation of the local extent of disease in advanced cases, especially if urethral invasion is suspected
Radical vulvectomy implies removal of the entire vulva down to the level of the deep fascia of the thigh, the periosteum of the pubis, and the inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm. A tumor-free margin ≥1 cm is required since a smaller margin is associated with an increased local recurrence risk.
