Cancer of the vulva(G) relates to cancers in the skin covering the vulva. It is an uncommon cancer, with less than 100 cases reported each year in Queensland. Most of these cases are in women over 50 years of age, with the most common occurrence in the 70-79 year age group. It does, however, appear that cancer of the vulva is becoming more common in younger women between 30 and 50 years of age; there is some evidence that this group may be related to smoking.
