Purpose Of Review:
Vaginal neoplasia is one of the rarest of malignancies. Intraepithelial lesions are usually first identified by an abnormal Pap smear in a woman without a cervix. Surgery or ablation of the epithelium is usually highly successful.
Recent Findings:
There have not been any findings of significance since 2003 to include in this review.
Summary:
Invasive cancer is usually located in the upper one-third of the vagina. If staged early, radical surgery can be curative as well as radiation therapy. Like cervical cancer, a more advanced stage is treated with radiation therapy, but with poorer survival rates than cervical cancer.
