Vaginal Cancer

The majority of cancer in the vagina is the result of the spread of a different cancer, such as cervical or endometrial cancer, into the vagina. Primary vaginal cancer is very rare and only makes up about 1% of all gynecologic malignancies.

The vagina is the “birth canal”, and is a less frequent site of gynegologic cancers. Generally it is found in women over the age of 40. Radiation and concurrent chemotherapy are usually the treatment of choice in this disease. The plan is very similar to that of cervical cancer.
