Blood test and patient surveys aim to outsmart vulva cancer recurrence
NCT ID NCT06495554
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether regular patient surveys and a special blood test (circulating tumor DNA) can spot vulva cancer returning earlier than standard check-ups. About 295 women with vulva cancer will fill out symptom surveys every four months and give blood samples for two years. The goal is to improve how doctors monitor for recurrence and manage side effects, potentially leading to better outcomes.
