Abstract
To evaluate the effect of marital status on survival of patients with vulvar cancer. A total of 4001patients with vulvar cancer were included from the SEER database. Statistical analyses were performed usingχ2 test, Kaplan-Meier method, Cox regression proportional hazards and a 1:1 propensity score-matching. The 8-year vulvar cancer-related survival in married, divorced, single and widowed patients were 78.6, 82.2, 78.9 and 61.6%, respectively (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, widows patients had significantly worse vulvar cancer survival than the nonwidowed counterparts in unmatched and matched populations. Being widowed is associated with greater risk of vulvar cancer mortality than the nonwidowed counterparts.
