Vaginal cancer is the development of cells that begins in the vagina. The cells multiply rapidly, allowing them to penetrate and kill healthy human tissue.

The vagina is a component of the female reproductive system. It's a muscular tube that connects the uterus to the external genitalia. The vagina is sometimes referred to as the birth canal.

Cancer that originates in the vagina is uncommon. The vast majority of vaginal cancers begin elsewhere and spread to the vagina. Vaginal cancer identified when it is limited to the vagina has the best chance of being cured.

The main objectives of vaginal cancer treatment are to eradicate cancer cells, halt the disease's progression, and reduce symptoms including unusual bleeding, discomfort, or discharge. The goal of the treatment is to enhance quality of life and maintain vaginal function. Depending on the cancer's stage and type, treatment options could include radiation, chemotherapy, or surgery.

You should consult a physician if you have abnormal discharge, chronic pelvic pain, a lump or mass in the vagina, or atypical vaginal bleeding (particularly after menopause or sexual activity).

In order to determine the stage and extent of the cancer, your doctor will conduct imaging tests (CT, MRI, or PET), biopsies, and blood work in order to get ready for vaginal cancer treatment. Some medications may need to be stopped, and you may need to observe fasting or hygiene guidelines prior to radiation therapy or surgery.

Treatment varies with stage and site of cancer:

Surgery: Local excision, partial vaginectomy, or total vaginectomy, depending on tumour size and location.
Radiation therapy: Usually the primary treatment, this method uses either internal (brachytherapy) or external radiation to kill cancer cells.
Chemotherapy: Given before (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) surgery, or as a sole treatment in advanced disease.
Targeted therapy: Used in select cases if specific genetic mutations or markers (e.g., HPV-related changes) are present.
Immunotherapy: Used to strengthen the body's defenses against tumor cells in cases of advanced or recurrent vaginal cancer.

Treatment for vaginal cancer might take anywhere from a few hours for surgery to four to six weeks for radiation. Chemotherapy or combined treatments can extend over several weeks to months, depending on the cancer stage and response.

Vaginal dryness, scarring, or narrowing
Fatigue, nausea, or hair loss from chemotherapy
Skin irritation or bowel/bladder issues from radiation
Emotional and sexual health changes
Lymph nodes are affected or removed

Treatment for vaginal cancer improves survival and stops the progression of the disease by removing or controlling it. Additionally, it reduces symptoms and can result in long-term remission, particularly in the early stages.

Following vaginal cancer therapy, post-operative recovery includes rest, wound care, and the management of any discomfort or adverse effects, such as exhaustion or bleeding. Patients may require help for their mental or sexual well-being as well as pelvic physical treatment. Full recovery can take several weeks to months, with regular follow-ups to monitor healing and prevent recurrence.

The stage of diagnosis determines how well vaginal cancer is treated. Up to 51% of people who have vulvar cancer in its early stages will survive for five years.
