| pubmed-article:8941006 | pubmed:abstractText | Rates of melanoma have increased worldwide over the last few decades. Currently, this rate of increase is greater for melanoma than for any other cancer in the U.S. Approximately 3% of all melanomas diagnosed in women are located within the genital tract, predominantly affecting the vulva. Overall, melanomas of the vulva account for 2-10% of all malignancies of the female external genitalia. Due to the rarity of this disease, treatment recommendations do not exist. | lld:pubmed |
