Vulcan cancer also called labia cancer is cancer in the inner or outer labia. Cancer can also develop in other parts of the vulva (link to vulva drawing) but is less common. It arises in the epidermis (the layer of skin visible on the outside), the glandular ducts of the vulva or from the pigment cells of the skin.
The cells of the epidermis are called squamous cells, so when cancer develops there it is called a squamous carcinoma. This type of vulvar cancer is the most common (70%).
Causes vulvar cancer:
Women who have Lichen Sclerosus (LS) are more likely to develop vulvar cancer (about 5%) As a precursor to vulvar cancer, you then usually first develop a dVIN
The dVIN you can get from LS is not HPV related.
A vulvar HSIL also a pre-stage of vulvar cancer, this form is related to HPV and is also more common in young women. See also HPV
Vulvar cancer can metastasize, usually to the lymph nodes in the groin. If vulvar cancer has been around longer, it can also spread to the lymph nodes in the pelvis or abdomen. In rare cases, it also metastasizes to other organs such as the liver or lungs.

It is incredibly important for women to know their own vulva. This is why it is so important for women to periodically self-examine their vulva. By doing this you can notice changes, the earlier you are treated for abnormalities on the vulva, the less likely you are to develop complications including vulvar cancer.
