Vulvar Cancer – Dr. Monisha Gupta – Gynecologic Oncologist

Vulvar Cancer

Vulvar cancer is a type of cancer that occurs on the outer surface area of the female genitalia. The vulva is the area of skin that surrounds the urethra and vagina, including the clitoris and labia.

Vulvar cancer commonly forms as a lump or sore on the vulva that often causes itching. Though it can occur at any age, vulvar cancer is most commonly diagnosed in older adults.

Vulvar cancer treatment usually involves surgery to remove the cancer and a small amount of surrounding healthy tissue. Sometimes vulvar cancer surgery requires removing the entire vulva. The earlier vulvar cancer is diagnosed, the less likely an extensive surgery is needed for treatment.

        FAQs — Vulvar Cancer

        Is vulvar cancer related to HPV? Approximately 40% of vulvar cancers are related to HPV infection. Others are related to chronic skin conditions like lichen sclerosus.

        Is vulvar cancer hereditary? A family history of cervical or vulvar cancer may increase risk, but most vulvar cancers are not directly inherited.

        Can vulvar cancer be mistaken for a skin condition? Yes — vulvar cancer is often initially treated as a yeast infection or eczema. If symptoms do not resolve with standard treatment within 4–6 weeks, a specialist evaluation is essential.
