WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT:
- Early treatment leads to better outcomes
- In the UK alone, more than 3 people a day are diagnosed with vulval cancer
1 in 7 experience vulval pain in their life, so the likelihood is that even if you are not aware, someone you know may be going through this pain right now or do so in future. Knowledge is power, it’s time for change.
