Most people have heard of cervical, ovarian, and perhaps womb cancer, but there is one gynaecological cancer that is seldom mentioned: vulval cancer.

Key Points: 
  • Most people have heard of cervical, ovarian, and perhaps womb cancer, but there is one gynaecological cancer that is seldom mentioned: vulval cancer.
  • According to Cancer Research UK, 69% of vulval cancers are considered preventable.
  • In late-stage cancer, the treatment may be devastating and in extreme cases can involve removing the entire vulva, so increasing awareness is vital.
  • The other main condition linked to vulval cancer is LS, a chronic skin condition which typically causes intense itching and white or ashy patches.

Delayed diagnosis

    • In one Danish study comparing the diagnosis time of all gynaecological cancers, vulval cancer was found to have the longest delay.
    • If you are concerned you have symptoms of vulval cancer or LS, you may need to insist on being examined.
    • To this end, the University of Manchester has produced a resource to teach women how to do a vulval self-examination.
    • Resources such as the Great Wall of Vulva can help women understand that vulvas come in all shapes and sizes.

Treatment for vulval cancer

    • However, treatment for later stage vulval cancer can be brutal.
    • In England, vulval cancer incidence rates are 74% higher in the most deprived groups.
    • Increased awareness could save some women from being diagnosed with later stage vulval cancer and improve survival rates.
    • We should be taking vulval itching and pain seriously, talking about vulval cancer and emphasising the importance of the HPV vaccine.
