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. | 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.

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.
