Résumé

Vulvar cancer is a rare cancer, it most often affects older women, with tumours of more advanced size and stage than in younger patients. The first-line treatment for vulvar cancer is surgery. Current European and American guidelines recommend negative histological margins. As tumor size is greater in older patients, the aim of this study was to assess the impact of patient age on surgical excision margins in squamous cell carcinomas of the vulva.
