A series of factors and its possible influence on the prognosis of cancer of the vulva are analyzed. In the present study 71 patients were studied. We have been able to establish that the main prognosis factor of cancer of the vulva is, beyond doubt, the presence of lymph node metastasis, since in absence of lymph node affection due to the cancer, survival was 100%, after five years, in those patients having positive lymph nodes, survival was 92.5% after the first year, 82.5% after three years and 70% after five years.
