Is vulvar cancer genetic?

Vulvar cancer: Vulvar cancer is not genetically inherited and neither is cervical cancer. They share in common links to exposure to the hpv virus and are not inherited.

Not generally: Sporadic cancer, perhaps related to some stds. Good reason for condoms if sexually active, periodic exams. Generally does not occur in people your age.

Vulvar cancer: Vulvar cancer is not hereditary. It is genetic in the fact that cancers are cause by a change in the dna (genes).
