Background:

Lymph node status is critical for vulvar cancer prognosis.
Groin lymphadenectomy, the current standard, causes significant morbidity.
Sentinel node biopsy is established in breast cancer care.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the feasibility and benefits of sentinel node detection in vulvar cancer.
To discuss the current status and potential of this technique.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature and studies on sentinel node biopsy in vulvar cancer.
Analysis of the technique's application and outcomes.

Main Results:

The sentinel node technique has been studied for 15 years in vulvar cancer.

Small patient numbers due to low incidence have hindered consensus.

Feasibility and potential benefits are highlighted.

Conclusions:

Sentinel node biopsy shows promise for improving vulvar cancer staging.
Wider adoption requires further evidence and consensus building.
This technique may offer a less morbid alternative to groin lymphadenectomy.
