What are the tests for vulvar cancer?

Physical and biopsy: Vulva can be observed directly for any suspicious lesions. If there are any, those can be biopsied for examination by a pathologist. Hpv infection is implicated in vulvar cancer like in cervical cancer.

Vulvar cancer: The best test for vulvar cancer is a tissue biopsy. Acetic acid (vinegar) is used to look for precancerous areas.
