Abstract：Over the past 15 years,lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy in vulvar cancer have been explored by gynecologic oneologists around the world.Based on the results of multiple single-institution studies,most in our field are optimistic that these techniques will increase the rates of detection of lymph node metastasis while decreasing the morbidity associated with lymphadenectomy.In this paper,we present the published data on mapping techniques and SLNB in vulva cancer and discuss future considerations for these technologies.
