Abstract: Objective: The sentinel node (SN) procedure is adopted in selected patients with early-stage vulva cancer (VC) in Denmark. Due to the low incidence of VC, large population-based studies on the safety of SN outside multicenter clinical trials are lacking. The current study evaluated the risk of recurrence and survival in SN- negative VC patients. Methods: Nationwide data was collected and registered prospectively in the Danish Gynecologic Cancer Database from January 2011 to July 2017. Patients with clinically stage IB-II unifocal vulva squamous cell carcinoma, tumor
