Metastatic lymph nodes indicates patients with metastatic lymph nodes; number of metastatic lymph nodes is the number of metastatic lymph nodes per patient.

R0 = no tumor; R1 = microscopic tumor; VIN = vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia; FIGO = International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics.

Data in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals.
