A study by Tadele Emagneneh et al. highlights several persistent issues in vulvar cancer management. One of the major global challenges discussed is the lower survival rates for cervical cancer in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa, where access to preventive screening, early detection, and treatment remains limited. The systematic review reveals that survival rates can be less than 35%, underscoring the disparities in healthcare access. Though vulvar and cervical cancers have distinct etiologies, this study underscores the broader issue of healthcare infrastructure and the need for international collaboration to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment access. Efforts to improve HPV vaccination, screening, and early intervention strategies can similarly benefit vulvar cancer care, especially in underserved areas.
