What treatment options are there for stage 1 vulvar cancer after surgery?
Community Member
a month agoI am 55 and was just diagnosed with vulvar cancer after two surgeries for dysplasia. I meet with oncologist this week. Looks like stage 1 invasive. The last surgery was a WLE and margins are clear for cancer but not for precancerous cells. Does anyone know what treatment might look like? I went through breast cancer 8 years ago.

a month agoTreatment plans for stage 1 vulvar cancer can vary depending on several factors that the oncologist will discuss during the upcoming appointment. Since the margins are clear for cancer, the oncology team will likely evaluate whether additional treatment is needed and what options might be most appropriate for this specific situation. Having experience navigating cancer treatment before may help when discussing the various approaches and asking questions about next steps with the medical team.
