Diagnosing Vulvar Cancer
Regular gynecological visits can greatly improve finding these vulvar cancers during early stages, when the disease is easier to treat.
If you are experiencing any potential vulvar cancer symptoms, your doctor may request additional testing. Pelvic exams and Pap smears are diagnostic tools that help doctors decide whether a biopsy is necessary.
Because many vulvar cancer symptoms are similar to common, non-cancerous conditions, a tissue biopsy and further testing may help your doctor evaluate your condition. Your doctor may follow up a biopsy with imaging studies such as a CT scan, MRI or PET scan.
