I would generally favor treating with generous margins as opposed to intentionally covering the entire vulva. However, for patients who have a prior history of vulvar lichen sclerosis or vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia where the risk of developing vulvar cancer is higher, I would consider covering ...

I agree with Dr. @Dr. First Last's response. I would manage this perianal SCC like an anal canal cancer - with generous margins and without inclusion of the entire vulva. As stated above, 2.5 cm margins were used in clinical trials including RTOG 98-11 and RTOG 0529, which is already quite generous....

Agree with the previous answers. These are sometimes challenging presentations with lots of nuances. In the perianal squamous cell carcinoma patients who do not have involvement of the anal canal, I would include generous margins on the lesion including into the anal canal, but I would not treat the...
