Most of the cervical epithelial neoplasms and their precursors occur at the squamocolumnar junction or within the transformation zone. (cytojournal.com)
Carcinomas1
The majority of vulvar cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, or cancer that begins in squamous cells, the main type of skin cells found on the surface of the skin. (bcm.edu)
Intraepithelial neoplasia1
The cancer usually develops slowly over several years, with abnormal cells growing on the surface of the vulvar skin - a precancerous condition called vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) . (bcm.edu)
Vaginal1
High-risk HPV is implicated in causation of various other cancers such as anal cancers, oropharyngeal cancers, vulval cancers, vaginal cancers, and penile cancers. (cytojournal.com)
Glands1
The vulva includes labia (the inner and outer lips around the opening of the vagina), the clitoris (small, sensitive, nerve-dense bud of tissue, located between the labia and in front of the urethra and vagina) and the opening of the vagina and its glands. (bcm.edu)
Teratoma3
Gliomatosis peritoneii, which presents as a deposition of mature glial cells in the peritoneum, is almost exclusively seen in conjunction with cases of ovarian teratoma. (mdwiki.org)
Through genetic studies of exome sequence, it was found that gliomatosis is genetically identical to the parent ovarian tumor and developed from cells that disseminate from the ovarian teratoma. (mdwiki.org)
[18] There also may be a cultural difference, with fetiform teratoma being reported more often in ovarian teratomas (by gynecologists) and fetus in fetu being reported more often in retroperitoneal teratomas (by general surgeons). (mdwiki.org)
Diagnosis3
If the diagnosis is vulvar cancer, more tests may be run to determine the extent or "stage" of the disease - how far the cancer cells have spread and the best treatment strategy. (bcm.edu)
It's not common that treatment for most health problems, including most cancers, needs to start immediately after diagnosis. (surgerysecondopinion.com)
This article explains basic concepts relevant to the development, progression, spread, and diagnosis of cancer. (amboss.com)
Glandular1
Endometrial hyperplasia is classified by its cytology and glandular tissue. (lookformedical.com)
Tumors1
[5] Ovarian teratomas represent about a quarter of ovarian tumors and are typically noticed during middle age. (mdwiki.org)
Affects3

Vulvar cancer most often affects the outer labia. (bcm.edu)
Specially Cancer treatment is a matter that greatly affects your personal health, your financial well-being, and your quality of life.It is your right toget a medical second opinion , no matter what. (surgerysecondopinion.com)
Treatment5
It is possible for VIN to turn into cancer, therefore early treatment is critical. (bcm.edu)
Treatment of tailbone, testicular, and ovarian teratomas is generally by surgery. (mdwiki.org)
Some treatments are fairly standard, straight forward procedures - but with cancers that are more rare or unusual, different doctors may disagree on treatment methods. (surgerysecondopinion.com)
If your cancer is unusual, getting a 2nd opinion is the best way to ensure you receive the best treatment possible. (surgerysecondopinion.com)

Rare2
Vulvar cancer is a rare type of cancer that forms on the outer part of a woman's genitals, known as the vulva. (bcm.edu)
As part of our mission to eliminate cancer, MD Anderson researchers conduct hundreds of clinical trials to test new treatments for both common and rare cancers. (mdanderson.org)

Condition1
While many forms of cancer are now fully treatable, cancer is still an extremely serious condition that can prove fatal. (surgerysecondopinion.com)
Begins1
Lower most opening is the external os, from where endocervix begins as a narrow canal up to internal os or isthmus, from where endometrial cavity begins. (cytojournal.com)

Vagina2
The prognostic impact of FIGO stage, histology, histologic grade, age and race in survival for cancers of the female gynecological (cervix, endometrium, ovary, vulva, vagina) were examined using cases obtained from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program that were diagnosed between 1973 and 1987.
