Re: Question: Can cancer of the vulva metastasize to the bladder?

I was dx'd with stage 3 squamous cell carcinoma 3 years ago, had a

I have to have some tests done on my bladder, I either have
interstitial cystitis or it could be cancer of the bladder.

What's the likelihood that it could be a second bout with my primary
cancer?
You don't say what symptoms you have, I assume an ultrasound/ CT / MRI
showed a thickening of the bladder wall. Of course it could be bladder
cancer, but its more likely to be cystitis. Did you receive any adjuvant
therapy after the operation (radiation or chemo)?
Its highly unlikely to be the vulvar cancer.
