Detailed Guide: Vulvar Cancer
Treatment of Vulvar Melanoma

Treatment options depend on how deeply the melanoma has invaded. If the depth is less than 0.75 millimeters, partial vulvectomy with 2 centimeters (about ¾ inch) margins is the usual treatment. Radical vulvectomy may rarely be used when the lesion extensively involves the vulva.
