This article discusses concerns about women with vulvar neoplasia (vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia and vulvar cancer) and the available surgical treatment options. Given the gaps in the evidence base in terms of women with vulvar neoplasia and surgical treatment the women with vulvar Neoplasia-Patient Reported Outcome (WOMAN-PRO) research project focused on complications, symptoms and associated distress of women with surgically treated vulvar neoplasia. The main results of the research project are summarised, showing complications identified by clinicians, experiences reported by patients, the newly developed WOMAN-PRO instrument and symptom occurrence of each of 31 symptoms and the degree to which symptoms distressed women during the first seven days after discharge following surgical treatment for their vulvar neoplasia. Furthermore, based on the major findings of the project, suggestions for further research and clinical practice and conclusions are presented. We conclude that including patient self-report as a major element in follow-up care has the potential to enhance the quality of supportive care.
