Screening
Routine screening for extramammary Paget's disease in general population is not recommended. However, approximately 10% of patients with Paget's disease of the vulva have an underlying second malignancy. These include colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, as well as carcinoma of the transitional epithelium from the renal pelvis to urethra. Routine screening with colonoscopy, Pap test, and mammogram is therefore recommended in these patients.[1]
