Article Synopsis
  • Vulvar and vaginal melanomas (VVMs) are rare but serious types of cancer that don't have a lot of standard ways to predict their outcomes.
  • A study looked at 79 cases of VVMs over about 26 months and found that certain factors, like tumour necrosis (when the tumor is dying), can indicate how likely a patient is to survive.
  • Vaginal melanomas were found to have worse survival rates compared to other types like vulvar or clitoral melanomas, highlighting the need for different treatment plans based on where the cancer is located.
