Women with a vulvar lump, sore or itch that doesn't heal, or an abnormal biopsy.
What to expect
- Examination and biopsy
- Surgery tailored to the size and site
- Referral for radiotherapy if needed
Common questions
Is itching a sign of cancer?
Usually not, but itching that lasts for weeks despite treatment should be checked.
