Vulvar cancer is uncommon, accounting for 3 to 5% of all female genital cancers. Because this cancer is so rare, not much is known about the characteristics of this patient group. The purpose of this study was to determine these characteristics in a group of 94 women with vulvar cancer. We retrospectively analyzed the condition associated with vulvar cancer in 94 women who were treated with surgery and irradiation or irradiation alone. In these patients, hypertension (found in 40% of patients) was the most prevalent conditions associated with vulvar cancer. Our results confirm those of previous studies; chronic dermatologic diseases, chronic metabolic diseases such as cardiovascular illnesses, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking are the most frequent medical conditions found in this patient group.
外阴癌并不常见，占所有女性生殖系统癌症的3%至5%。由于这种癌症非常罕见，关于该患者群体的特征了解不多。本研究的目的是确定94例外阴癌女性患者的这些特征。我们回顾性分析了94例接受手术和放疗或仅接受放疗的外阴癌女性患者的相关病情。在这些患者中，高血压（40%的患者存在）是与外阴癌相关的最常见病情。我们的结果证实了先前研究的结果；慢性皮肤病、慢性代谢性疾病如心血管疾病、高血压、糖尿病以及吸烟是该患者群体中最常见的疾病状况。
