Vulvar Cancer

Signs & symptoms

In most cases, vulvar cancer causes early symptoms. Therefore, if you experience any of the symptoms of the condition, you should visit your doctor immediately. Common symptoms of vulvar cancer may include:

• Vulvar itching that lasts more than one month
• A cut or sore on the vulva that won't heal
• A lump or mass on the vulva
• Unexplained vulvar pain
• Bleeding from the vulva that is different from your usual monthly bleeding
• 在你的十大赌博平台排行榜治疗烧伤后，烧伤部位仍持续存在
• 外阴部位胎记或痣大小、颜色或质地的变化

Diagnosis

值得注意的是，如果早期发现和治疗，外阴癌有很高的治愈率. 因此，你有必要去看十大赌博平台排行榜进行明确的诊断.

In making a diagnosis, your doctor will first review your medical history, 询问你正在经历的任何症状，并进行彻底的身体检查. The following tests also may be performed:

• Pelvic Exam This test involves feeling the uterus, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder and rectum to find any abnormality in their shape or size.
• Ultrasound This test 利用高频声波来创造人体器官和系统的图像. 这些人类听不到的声波会产生一种回声模式，称为声波图. 在这张照片上，健康组织、充满液体的囊肿和肿瘤看起来不同.
• Computed Tomography (CT) Scan This is a method of body imaging in which a thin X-ray beam rotates around the patient. 小型探测器测量穿过病人或特定部位的x射线量. A computer analyzes the data to construct a cross-sectional image. These images can be stored, viewed on a monitor or printed on film. In addition, 将单个图像或“切片”堆叠起来可以创建器官的三维模型.
• Chest X-Ray This X-ray provides pictures of the organs and structures inside the chest, including the heart and lungs and the airway leading to them, major blood vessels, and upper portion of the thin sheet of muscle just below the lungs.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) This is a painless, non-invasive procedure that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to construct pictures of the body. 任何成像平面或“切片”都可以投影、存储在计算机中或打印在胶片上. MRI can easily be performed through clothing and bones.
• Biopsy This test 包括取出一小块组织进行显微镜检查和/或培养, often to help your doctor make a diagnosis.

Treatments

如果及早诊断和治疗，外阴癌的治愈率超过90%. Treatment for vulvar cancer typically involves surgery, radiation therapy and in some cases, chemotherapy. Our team of cancer specialists, 放射专家和整形外科十大赌博平台排行榜一起为你的病情设计最有效的治疗方案.

Surgery

In many cases, vulvar cancer is treated with surgery. The type of surgery depends on the size, depth and spread of the cancer.

One commonly used form of surgery is called wide local excision, 癌细胞和癌细胞周围的一些正常组织被切除. Another surgical approach is called a radical excision, which removes the cancer and a larger portion of surrounding tissue and, in some cases, the lymph nodes. After these procedures, patients may need to have skin from another part of the body added, or grafted, and plastic surgery to make an artificial vulva or vagina.

In addition, in some cases, laser surgery may be used, which uses a narrow beam of light to remove cancer cells.

Radiation Therapy

放射疗法使用x射线或其他高能射线杀死癌细胞并缩小肿瘤. 放射可能来自体外的机器，称为外束放射治疗. Another form or radiation therapy, called internal radiation, works by placing materials that produce radiation, called radioisotopes, through thin plastic tubes into the area where the cancer cells are found. Radiation may be used alone, before or after surgery.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. 药物可以口服，也可以通过静脉或肌肉注射. 化疗被称为全身治疗，因为药物进入血液, travels through the body, and can kill cancer cells throughout the body.
