Background: The management of vulval disorders in Genitourinary Medicine (GUM) clinics requires targeted approaches due to the wide range of conditions affecting the vulva. Vulval diseases encompass various aetiologies, including dermatoses, pain syndromes, and pre-malignant conditions, necessitating specialized care often involving multidisciplinary collaboration.
Purpose: This guideline aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of specific vulval conditions that may present in GUM clinics.
Targeted therapy with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) has shown promising results in the treatment of various solid tumours. Sacituzumab-govitecan (SG), a humanised anti-Trop2 monoclonal antibody in combination with the cytotoxic topoisomerase I inhibitor SN38, has been approved for the treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The treatment approach with SG requires the expression of Trop2 in the tumour cells.

Basal cell carcinomas (BCC) are driven primarily by cumulative ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure resulting in activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, often as a result of UV-mediated Patched-1 (PTCH1) gene inactivation. Accordingly, BCCs most commonly arise at sun-exposed sites such as the head and neck. Very rarely, BCCs can arise at sun-protected sites such as the genital skin and perianal area.
