Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Cancer Epidemiology

Context:

  • Vaginal carcinoma is a rare gynecologic malignancy, accounting for 0.83% of cases in this study period.
  • The study population included 114 patients diagnosed between 1958 and 1978.
  • Risk factors identified include early marriage age and high parity.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, and outcomes of primary vaginal carcinoma.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of different radiotherapy regimens.

Summary:

  • Squamous cell carcinoma was the predominant histologic type (89.69%).
  • Tumors frequently occurred in the upper third and posterior vaginal wall.
  • Radiotherapy was the primary treatment, with combined intracavitary radium/caesium and external 60Co irradiation yielding a 66.1% 5-year survival rate.

  • Survival rates varied by stage, with Stage I achieving 71.4% and Stage IV having 0% 5-year survival.
  • Treatment complications included rectovaginal and vesicovaginal fistulas, rectal bleeding, and hematuria.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the effectiveness of combined radiotherapy techniques for vaginal cancer.
    • Provides epidemiological data on risk factors and tumor distribution.
    • Informs treatment strategies and prognostic assessments for this rare cancer.
