- Abstract
The article discusses the surgical, pharmacological and other treatment modalities for vulval intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN). The condition occurs as pre-cancerous, basaloid and warty subtypes in younger and postmenopausal women, and is associated with lichen sclerosus and human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and cigarette smoking. Aside from excisional treatments or vulvectomy and laser ablation therapy, medications include imiquimod, cidofovir, 5-fluorouracil and photodynamic therapy.
