Pathologically Tumor-free Resection Margin Distance as a Surrogate Parameter in Primary Vulvar Squamous Cell Cancer: Analysis of a Large Two-Center Patient Cohort
The study underscored the significance of tumor-free margin distance as a surrogate marker for survival in VSCC patients. In addition to lymphatic vessel invasion as the most critical prognostic factor, tumor-free resection margin distance and age emerged as significant predictors of overall survival. The findings advocate for tailored, function-preserving surgical approaches to improve patient outcomes.
