Rehabilitation of vulvar cancer patients
Rehabilitation of vulvar cancer patients is a continuous process that starts at diagnosis and continues throughout life. A multidisciplinary rehabilitation care approach involves the participation of a whole health team of physicians and nurses in various areas. For the early detection of relapses, diagnostic monitoring (tumor markers, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography/computed tomography) is indicated for all patients. Particular attention should be paid to the quality of life in women, by restoring the physiological functions impaired due to the illness and/or treatment, by correcting the mental status and sexual dysfunction.Solopova A.G., Moskvicheva V.S., Blbulyan T.A., Makatsariya A.D., Dudina A.N., Meng M.
