What are the symptoms?
Vulval cancer refers to cancers developing in the external sex organs (vulva). These include the labia minora and the labia majora as well as the clitoris and bartholin’s glands.
Primarily a cancer that affects older women it is rare in those under 50 who have not undergone menopause.
