Overview
In 2015, the incidence of vaginal cancer is approximately 2-3 per 100,000 individuals with a death number of 910.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Carcinomas of the vagina are uncommon tumors comprising about 1% of the cancers that arise in the female genital system.
- Estimated new cases and deaths from vaginal (and other female genital) cancer in the United States in 2015:
- New cases: 4,070.
- Deaths: 910.
- Estimated new cases and deaths from vaginal (and other female genital) cancer in the United States in 2008:
- New cases: 2,210.
- Deaths: 760.
- 1 in 100,000 women will be diagnosed with in situ or invasive vaginal cancer [6,7].
- Most cases of vaginal cancer are likely mediated by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, as with cervical cancer [8].
- Vaginal cancer has the same risk factors as cervical neoplasia: multiple lifetime sexual partners, early age at first intercourse, and being a current smoker [9,10].
- There is evidence that some high-grade vulvar and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia are monoclonal lesions derived from high-grade or malignant cervical disease [11].
