Interobserver Variation in Vulvar Squamous Cell Cancer Depth of Invasion Using Two Measurement Methods
The FIGO 2021 DOI measurement method has higher interobserver variation than FIGO 2009, with this difference arising from tumors with DOI >1 mm. This finding, combined with inadequate international consensus and scant clinical outcome data, should trigger reconsideration of 2021 FIGO staging guidelines.
