What should be noted when there is a remission of vulvar cancer?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I felt various discomforts in my body. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was told that it was a tumor disease. I was very worried about how long I could live. Could you please tell me what precautions should be taken for vulvar cancer remission?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question. Vulvar cancer is usually related to HPV infection, so the primary treatment is surgery. The surgical treatment depends on the clinical staging of vulvar cancer and may involve local lesion excision, extended vulvectomy, or palliative surgery. After surgery, if the patient is in stage I or II, clinical healing can be considered. The key postoperative care is close follow-up and subsequent radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
