Vulvar cancer rapresents 5% of gynaecological malignancies. Aimof this study is to identify factors that influence the survival of these patients. 122 patients were analyzed with a follow-up of 60.74 months. The characteristics analyzed were: age at diagnosis, type of surgical treatment, FIGO stage, histological type, grade, surgical margins, adjuvant therapy, interval diagnosis-relapse, site of recurrence. The statistical analysis showed that the prognostic factors are: FIGO stage, relapse free interval, the site of recurrence, positive lymph nodes and surgical margins in the histological examination. While age at diagnosis, grading and type of surgery seem not to influence the survival of patiens with vulvar cancer.
