Vaginal cancer

Vaginal cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the tissues of the vagina. Vaginal cancer is rare in the general population of women. Metastases are more common. Vaginal cancer occurs more often in women over age 50 years old. It can occur at any age and even during pregnancy. It often can be cured if found and treated in its early stages. Surgery alone or surgery combined with pelvic radiation is typically used to treat vaginal cancer.
