Prof Sean Kehoe speaks to ecancer at BGICC 2019 in Cairo about a new FIGO (Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d’Obstétrique) staging system in vulval and cervical cancer.

Prof Kehoe states that these women may now be considered stage 3 and that imaging and pathological staging can be followed to determine this.
