==Overview==
The [[incidence]] of  vulvar cancer was estimated to be 2.4 per 100,000 females in the United States. The [[incidence]] of vulvar cancer increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 68 years. Vulvar cancer is more prevalent in the caucasian race.<ref name=xyz> SEER Stat Fact Sheets: Vulvar Cancer.  Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. http://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/vulva.html Accessed on September 21, 2015</ref>


Vulvar cancer accounts for about 5% of cancers of the female genital system in the United States.

% of AllCancer Deaths- 0.2%
:* In 2015, it is estimated that there will be 5,150 new cases of vulvar cancer and an estimated 1,080 people will die of this disease.
 
:* For vulvar cancer, death rates increase with age. The number of deaths was 0.5 per 100,000 women per year based on 2008-2012.
 
:* Using statistical models for analysis, rates for new vulvar cancer cases have been rising on average 0.5% each year over the last 10 years.  Death rates have not changed significantly over 2002-2012.  5-year survival trends are shown below the figure.

Survival by Stage
:* The earlier vulvar cancer is caught, the better chance a person has of surviving five years after being diagnosed.      For vulvar cancer, 59.2% are diagnosed at the local stage. The 5-year survival for localized vulvar cancer is 85.8%.
 
===Incidence===
 
The incidence  of vulvar cancer was 2.4 per 100,000 women per year. These rates are age-adjusted and based on 2008-2012 cases and deaths.
