Small cell carcinoma of the vulva is a rare neuroendocrine tumour that develops in the vulva and sometimes in the vagina. These tumours make up about 2% of all gynecological cancers and 6% of vulvar tumours. Most commonly, they affect the labia majora (outer lips) and labia minora (inner lips) of the vulva.
Many sufferers of Small cell carcinoma of the vulva struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Small cell carcinoma of the vulva. We have recently created a Small cell carcinoma of the vulva resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
