Vaginal cancer is a rare cancer that occurs in the vagina, a muscular tube that connects the uterus with the outer genitals. It most commonly occurs in the cells that line the surface of the vagina, which is sometimes called the birth canal.
Two main types of vaginal cancer exist:
Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of vaginal cancer. It forms in the thin, flat cells lining the inside of the vagina and spreads slowly. It usually stays near the vagina but may spread to the lungs, liver, or bone.
Adenocarcinoma begins in glandular cells and is more likely to spread to the lungs and lymph nodes than squamous cell cancer.
The following types of surgeries are performed to treat vaginal cancer:
A pelvic exenteration removes the rectum, bladder, lower colon, cervix, vagina, ovaries, and nearby lymph nodes.
A gynecologic oncologist specializing in treating cancers of the female reproductive system (including surgery and chemotherapy) is the right doctor for treating vaginal cancer.
The cost of Vaginal Cancer Treatment includes:
Preoperative diagnostic tests cost, which may include blood tests, CT Scan, or MRI
Surgery cost (Depends upon the type and size of the tumor and the extent to which the tumor has spread)
