Treatments for Extramammary Paget's Disease
How Is Extramammary Paget's Disease Treated?
There are several options for treating extramammary Paget's disease:
Mohs micrographic surgery
An advanced surgical technique that precisely removes all forms of skin cancer while preserving healthy surrounding tissue.
Vulvectomy
Surgical removal of all or part of the vulva.
Excisional biopsy
Also called a wide local excision, an excisional biopsy involves surgical removal of a tumor and some normal tissue around it. The amount of normal tissue taken (also called the clinical margin) depends on the thickness of the tumor.
After surgery, our doctors may need to repair the area with a flap from adjacent skin or a graft taken from elsewhere on your body.
Extramammary Paget's disease can come back, so we make sure to schedule regular checkups. Additional surgery may be required, with other options considered:
Topical therapy with medications
Radiation therapy
The use of high-energy radiation to kill or shrink cancer cells, tumors, and non-cancerous diseases.
Photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy is a precise, patient friendly way to treat some skin cancers and precancerous growths caused by sun damage.
