Abstract

Vulva cancer constitutes 4-5% of all genital cancers and 1% of gynecological cancers. Recently, the incidence of vulvar cancer has been increasing. Significant advances in treatment and care for vulvar cancer will require new thinking and research methods about therapeutic options, especially for those with advanced disease. The purpose of this review is to describe the importance of early detection and evaluation of pre-defined post-surgical symptoms in vulvar cancer. In addition, the use of evidence-relieving interventions in vulvar cancer is to summarize the present for nursing care. It is to emphasize research on the biology of vulvar cancer and facilitate the development of better strategies for patient management.

Vulva Kanseri ve Vulvektomi Sonrası Hemşirelik Yaklaşımları

Abstract

Vulva kanseri tüm genital kanserlerin %4-5’ini, jinekolojik kanserlerin de %1’ini oluşturur. Son yıllarda vulva kanseri insidansı artış göstermektedir. Vulva kanseri için tedavi ve bakımdaki önemli gelişmeler, özellikle ileri evre hastalığı olanlar için terapötik seçenekler hakkında yeni düşünme ve araştırma yöntemleri gerektirecektir. Bu derlemenin amacı, vulva kanserinde önceden tanımlanmış cerrahi sonrası semptomların erken saptanmasını ve değerlendirilmesinin önemi anlatılmaktadır. Ayrıca vulva kanserinde kanıta dayalı semptom giderici müdahalelerin kullanımıyla hemşirelik bakımına yönelik mevcut kanıtları özetlemektir. Vulva kanserinin biyolojisi hakkındaki en son araştırmaları vurgulamak ve hasta yönetimi için daha iyi stratejilerin geliştirilmesini kolaylaştırmaktır.
