The impact of concurrent HIV-infection on women with vulvar cancer: Comparison of clinical characteristics and outcome
Vulvar cancer occurs at a much younger age in women living with HIV. Awareness among HIV-positive women and health care providers would lead to diagnosis of vulvar cancer at an earlier stage. Treatment protocols for HPV-related vulvar cancer should not be altered due to HIV status and should take into consideration the young age of the patients.
