Overview

What Is Vaginal Cancer?
To help you understand what is happening when you have cancer, it helps to understand how your body works normally. Our bodies consist of tiny building blocks called cells. Normal cells grow and multiply when the body needs them, and die out when the body does not need them.

Statistics for Vaginal Cancer
Some people use statistics to try to figure out their chances of getting cancer or of being cured. It is important to remember that this data shows what happens with large groups of people. Because no two people are alike, you can't use this information to know or predict what will happen to you.

Am I At Risk for Vaginal Cancer?
There is no way to know for sure if you're going to get vaginal cancer. And there is no known way to prevent it. Certain factors can make you more likely to get this type of cancer than another woman. These are called risk factors. Unfortunately, doctors do not know what causes vaginal cancer. Most women who develop it have no known risk factors at all. The risk factors that have been found only slightly raise your chances of getting the disease. Still, tell your doctor if you agree with any of the bolded statements.
