Factors associated with vulvar cancer from 2005 to 2021 in Togo, sub-Saharan Africa.

Our study aimed to describe the epidemiological and histopathological aspects of vulvar cancer in Togo and its associated factors.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted on vulvar cancer cases histologically diagnosed at the Pathological Laboratory of Lomé over a period of 17-years (2005-2021).
