Carcinoma vulva is relatively a rare disease accounting for 1.3% of all gynecological malignancies and 0.3% of all cancers affecting females in India. Predominantly of elderly women with the median age being 67 years and now also common in young females. The purpose of this study is to know the demographic pattern of invasive vulvar cancer, to analyze the surgical options, the postoperative complications, failure pattern and survival following surgical management and to compare our results with other published series. Data was collected from January 2014 to December 2022 in medical record department. A total of 107 patients were included in the age group between 24‐85 years were analyzed. Of those 107 patients, 62.9% were below 60 years of age. Thirty‐six (33.64%) patients presented with ulcers over external genitalia, 34(31.77%) with pruritus, 23 (21.49%) with pain and 14 (13.08%) with other complaints (like discharge, swelling). During this 8‐year period, 44 patients with invasive vulvar carcinoma were treated with surgery. Of 37 patients were locally advanced disease treated by concurrent chemo radiation, 14 patients were metastatic disease treated by palliative intent and best supportive care depends upon Performance status of the patients. outcomes were analyzed. In conclusion, the treatment of vulvar carcinoma should be individualized and involve multidisciplinary collaboration. It is essential to establish a uniform consensus on organ conservation strategies and approaches to reduce morbidity based on findings from these studies.
