Vulvar Cancer


Why Choose Loyola for Vulvar Cancer?

This type of cancer occurs on a woman’s external genitalia, or vulva, which is the tissue surrounding the vagina, clitoris and urethra. This tissue is called the labia majora and labia minora. The type of vulvar cancer depends on the tissue on which it is found, including:

  • Squamous cell carcinoma: Most common type, begins on the labia
  • Adenocarcinoma: Begins in the glands on the sides of the vaginal opening (Bartholin’s glands)
  • Melanoma: Most rare type, begins on the clitoris or labia minora
