Abstract
We investigated the value of the number of positive lymph nodes (PLNs) and lymph node ratio (LNR) on survival of vulvar cancer patients. A total of 2332patients with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma were included from the SEER program. In multivariate analysis, the number of PLNs and LNR were independent prognostic indictors of survival outcomes, a higher number of PLNs and a higher LNR had poorer survival outcomes. An LNR >0.2 was associated with poor survival outcomes according to the number of PLNs. The LNR has prognostic value related to the number of PLNs and may allow a more accurate determination of the lymph node status of vulvar cancer patients.
