📋Overview
Vaginal cancer is a rare malignancy originating in the tissues of the vagina. It is distinct from cervical cancer and other gynecologic cancers. The term 'vaginal cancer' is the modern preferred term and encompasses several histological types, primarily squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. It typically affects the lining of the vagina and can spread locally or to distant sites if untreated.
