Abstract:
There is mounting evidence that epidermoid carcinoma of the vulva may be divided into two aetiologically distinct categories. One category, that is closely linked to infection with high-risk types of human papillomaviruses, comprises malignancies whose histological picture is either basaloid or warty carcinoma. Another category, keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, has a much weaker association with human papillomaviruses and occurs mainly in elderly women. This review describes the current status with regard to risk factors for epidermoid carcinoma of the vulva.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
