Epithelial5
Vulvar cancers are those malignant neoplasms that originate from vulvar epithelium, while vulvar sarcomas develop from non-epithelial cells such as bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. (wikipedia.org)

There are four main groups of vaginal neoplasms: benign neoplasms, in situ neoplasms, malignant neoplasms, and neoplasms of uncertain or unknown behavior. (wikipedia.org)
Malignant neoplasms are also simply known as cancers.Tumor (American English) or tumour (British English), Latin for swelling, one of the cardinal signs of inflammation, originally meant any form of swelling, neoplastic or not. (wikipedia.org)
A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. (lookformedical.com)
Among sporadic endometrial cancers, when present, the microsatellite instability is confined to the malignant cells, and is not seen in the adjacent normal epithelium. (medmuv.com)
Postmenopausal1
In postmenopausal women, the squamous epithelium is atrophic with little or no glycogen. (medscape.com)
Under normal conditions, mitotic figures are rarely identified in endocervical epithelium. (medscape.com)

Methods2
Methods which attempt to express in replicable terms the extent of the neoplasm in the patient. (lookformedical.com)
METHODS: The National Cancer Database was accessed and patients with vulvar melanoma diagnosed between 2004 and 2015 who did not have distant metastases, underwent inguinal lymphadenectomy, had positive lymph nodes, and at least 1 month of follow-up were identified. (bvsalud.org)

Cell1
As this may affect treatment outcome, in this prospective study, we characterized the individual T cell immune milieu induced by surgery and adjuvant radio +/- chemotherapy (aRT) systemically in the blood of vulvar cancer patients and found increased frequencies of Interleukin (IL)-17-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells after aRT while frequencies of Th1 and perforin-producing CD8+ killer cells were strongly diminished. (bvsalud.org)
Women1
