Our approach to vulvar cancer treatment
Penn Medicine offers extensive options for treating vulvar cancer. Our specialists are experts in using advanced techniques to manage vulvar cancer and have extensive training in cancer treatment and clinical trials. We ensure you feel supported throughout your treatment journey using the following programs and resources.
In addition to conventional treatments, we offer integrative medicine and wellness programs, including acupuncture, mindfulness-based stress reduction, reiki therapy, yoga, exercise and rehabilitation. These programs help to improve your quality of life, reduce treatment side effects, and support your recovery.
Our cancer support services include social work counseling, nutritional counseling, psychological support, and spiritual counseling. These supportive care services are available to patients treated at select Penn Medicine locations. If you need any of these services, ask your doctor about which services are available.
Palliative care provides physical, emotional and spiritual support to complement traditional cancer therapies when curative treatments are no longer viable. These services include palliative chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, psychological counseling, art therapy, and support groups.
Penn Medicine offers a variety of home care and hospice services, including specialized therapies and medications for vulvar cancer patients that can be administered in the comfort of a patient’s home.
