Overview
Vulvar cancer is a malignancy that can occur on any part of the external organs, but most often affects the labia majora or labia minora. According to the American Cancer Society, about 3,900 cases of cancer of the vulva were diagnosed in the U.S. in 2010. Cancer of the vulva is a rare disease, which accounts for only 0.6 percent of all cancers in women, and may form slowly over many years.
