Vaginal Tumors Treatment
Treatment of vaginal cancer is individualized for each patient, and depends on the stage of the disease, the type of cancer, the area of vagina involved, and the age and health of the patient.
Surgery is sometimes used to remove the cancer, but most patients are treated with radiation. If the tumor is actually cervical cancer extending into the vagina, then radiation is given with chemotherapy at the same time. Sarcoma botryoides may be treated with a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation.
