Is Paget’s Disease Of The Vulva A Type Of Cancer?
I am diagnosed with Page s disease of the vulva. I asked my doctor if this is cancer, he said no. But all the online search I did show that page s disease of the vulva is cancerous. I am very worried. I am just 54, I want to live long enough to see my child finish college and get married. Please let me know how serious this disease is? Thank you.

Hi,
Paget's disease of the vulva is an unusual kind of skin cancer that arises from glandular cells. This disease appears as a red, velvety area with white islands of tissue on the vulva. Most people with the condition will experience itching and soreness. Almost all patients are postmenopausal, Caucasian women.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
