Vulvar Cancer
Vulvar cancer is a rare type of cancer that occurs on the external female genitalia, known as the vulva. It can develop in various areas, including the labia, clitoris, and vaginal opening. Risk factors include age, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and certain skin conditions. Symptoms may include itching, pain, or changes in the skin, such as lumps or sores.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, depending on the stage of the cancer. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes.
