Endoscopic Test
These endoscopy procedures are not used often for women with vaginal cancer, but they may be needed in certain cases[1].
Proctosigmoidoscopy
This test may be done if the vaginal cancer is large and/or in the part of the vagina next to the rectum and colon[2]. Proctosigmoidoscopy looks at the rectum and part of the colon. It’s done to check for spread of vaginal cancer to these organs. In this procedure a thin, flexible, lighted tube is put into the rectum. Any areas that look suspicious will be biopsied. This test may be somewhat uncomfortable, but it should not be painful.
