Vulvar cancer accounts for about 5% of cancers of the female genital system in the United States.
Estimated new  cases and deaths from vulvar cancer in the United States in 2015:
New cases:  5,150
Deaths:  1,080
Estimated New Cases in 2015- 5,150

:* 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%.
