Summary

This study tests whether regular ultrasound checks of the groin can safely replace the standard surgery to remove lymph nodes in women with early-stage vulvar cancer. The goal is to reduce side effects and improve recovery while still keeping the cancer under control. About 640 women will take part, and the study will compare survival rates and quality of life between the two approaches.
