Prognosis
The prognosis of vulvar cancer shows overall about a 75% five year survival rate, but, of course, individually affected by many factors, notably stage and type of the lesion and age and general medical health. Five-year survival is down to about 20% when pelvic lymph nodes are involved but better than 90% for patients with stage I lesions. Thus early diagnosis is imperative.
| Stage | 5-year relative survival (%) |
| I | 93% |
| II | 79% |
| III | 53% |
| 1V | 29% |
