Vulvar cancer is a rare cancer that usually forms slowly over many years. The cause of vulvar cancer is not well understood. In general, vulvar cancer forms when healthy cells in the vulva undergo abnormal DNA changes that cause them to grow and divide very rapidly.

Choosing a Vulvar Cancer Specialist in Florida

Because vulvar cancer is uncommon, it’s important to seek treatment with specialists who focus exclusively on this type of cancer. At Moffitt Cancer Center, we offer access to multiple specialists all under one roof so you don’t have to travel to multiple treatment centers.

Experience and Expertise

The multispecialty team in Moffitt’s gynecological clinic is highly specialized, and each physician has completed the rigorous process of attaining board certification in his or her area of specialty. Moffitt is also a high-volume cancer center so our physicians see more cases of vulvar cancer compared to other treatment centers.

These specialists include:

Gynecologic oncologists
Radiation oncologists
Medical oncologists
Gynecologists
Fellowship-trained surgeons
Pathologists

Individualized Treatment Options

Each patient is unique and we treat each patient individually. The gynecological clinic at Moffitt meets weekly in a tumor board to review each new patient’s vulvar cancer treatment options. In this way, every patient benefits from multiple expert opinions without having to travel to various physician’s offices.

It’s important for our patients to feel comfortable to thoroughly discuss all treatment options, including their benefits, risks and potential side effects.
