Overview

The surgical approach for vaginal cancer requires a radical hysterectomy, upper vaginectomy, and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. If a hysterectomy has been performed previously, then radical vaginectomy and bilateral lymphadenectomies should be done to complete the surgical therapy. Patients with stage I vaginal cancer appear to have the best outcomes when treated surgically. Early-stage disease had a mean five-year survival rate of 77 percent, which was far better than those with later-stage disease, regardless of whether or not adjuvant RT was administered
