Vulvar Cancer
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Vulvar cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the external tissues of the female genitals. It usually develops slowly and, in many cases, is preceded by changes in the skin of the area.
Possible signs: persistent itching, lumps or thickening, changes in skin color, sores that do not heal, or discomfort in the vulvar region.
Associated factors: certain infections, chronic skin changes, and age can influence its appearance.
Which specialist treats it? care falls to the oncologist, and depending on the case the radiation oncologist or the radiotherapist may take part in the management plan. Detecting any change in the genital area early makes evaluation easier, so noticing lesions that do not go away is reason enough to see a professional.
