AB Vulvar  cancers  are  among  the  least  common  gynecologic  malignancies.  Radical  surgery  is  the  primary  approach  for  most  patients,  and  advances  in  neoadjuvant  chemotherapy  and  radiation  may  decrease  operative  morbidity  in  those  patients  with  locally  advanced  disease.  This  chapter  focuses  on  the  diagnosis  and  management  of  vulvar  cancer,  with  special  emphasis  on  changes  in  staging  and  sentinel  lymph  node  biopsy  (SLNB).  Due  to  the  recent  modifications  in  International  Federation  of  Gynecology  and  Obstetrics  (FIGO)  staging,  the  reported  outcomes  in  this  chapter  reflect  the  older  staging  criteria.
