Overview
Vaginal cancer may be classified into 4 subtypes based on FIGO or AJCC staging system.
Staging
The Féderation Internationale de Gynécologie et d’Obstétrique (FIGO) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) have designated staging to define vaginal cancer; the FIGO system is most commonly used[1]. The definitions of the AJCC's T, N, and M categories correspond to the stages accepted by FIGO.[2]
FIGO
FIGO staging system (and modified World Health Organization (WHO) prognostic scoring system)[3]
The FIGO staging system is as follows[4]:
