“…Vulvectomy specimen dimensions should be recorded on the pathology report in order to give the clinicians an indication as to how radical a resection has been undertaken. 14 Anatomical site of a vulvar cancer must also be clearly indicated since tumors located close to the midline can be associated with bilateral or contralateral lymph node involvement. Moreover, midline/clitoral involvement is more frequently observed in HPV-independent tumors.…”

BackgroundAs part of its mission to improve the quality of care for women with gynecological cancers across Europe, the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) first published in 2017 evidence-based guidelines for the management of patients with vulvar cancer.ObjectiveTo update the ESGO guidelines based on the new evidence addressing the management of vulvar cancer and to cover new topics in order to provide comprehensive guidelines on all relevant issues of diagnosis and treatment of vulvar cancer.MethodsThe ESGO Council nominated an international development group comprised of practicing clinicians who provide care to vulvar cancer patients and have demonstrated leadership through their expertize in clinical care and research, national and international engagement and profile as well as dedication to the topics addressed to serve on the expert panel (18 experts across Europe). To ensure that the statements were evidence-based, new data identified from a systematic search were reviewed and critically appraised. In the absence of any clear scientific evidence, judgment was based on the professional experience and consensus of the international development group. Prior to publication, the guidelines were reviewed by 206 international practitioners in cancer care delivery and patient representatives.ResultsThe updated guidelines cover comprehensively diagnosis and referral, staging, pathology, pre-operative investigations, surgical management (local treatment, groin treatment, sentinel lymph node procedure, reconstructive surgery), (chemo)radiotherapy, systemic treatment, treatment of recurrent disease (vulvar, inguinal, pelvic, and distant recurrences), and follow-up. Management algorithms are also defined.

A cogent and comprehensive pathologic report is essential for optimal patient management, cancer staging, and prognostication. This article details the International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR) process and the development of the vulval carcinoma reporting data set. It describes the "core" and "noncore" elements to be included in pathology reports for vulval carcinoma, inclusive of clinical, macroscopic, microscopic, and ancillary testing considerations. It provides definitions and commentary for the evidence and/or consensus-based deliberations for each element included in the data set. The commentary also discusses controversial issues, such as p16/human papillomavirus testing, tumor grading and measurements, as well as elements that show promise and warrant further evidence-based study. A summary and discussion of the updated vulval cancer staging system by the International Federation of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (FIGO) in 2021 is also provided. We hope the widespread implementation of this data set will facilitate consistent and accurate reporting, data collection, comparison of epidemiological and pathologic parameters between different populations, facilitate research, and serve as a platform to improve patient outcomes.

Primary carcinomas of the vagina are uncommon and currently detailed recommendations for the reporting of resection specimens of these neoplasms are not widely available. The International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR) is developing standardized, evidence-based reporting data sets for multiple cancer sites. We describe the development of a cancer data set by the ICCR expert panel for the reporting of primary vaginal carcinomas and present the core and noncore data elements with explanatory commentaries. This data set has incorporated the updates in the 2020 World Health Organization Classification of Female Genital Tumours, 5th edition. The data set addresses controversial issues such as tumor grading, margin assessment, and the role of ancillary studies. The adoption of this data set into clinical practice will help ensure standardized data collection across different countries, facilitate future research on vaginal carcinomas, and ultimately lead to improvements in patient care.
