Abstract

Vaginal cancer is infrequent, but the morbidity associated with treatment is high. Delays in diagnosis account for presentations in advanced stages. Screening is probably not warranted given the low incidence, but inspection of the vagina should be performed at the time of Pap smear screening. No molecular markers are currently promising. Chemoprevention with retinoids may be feasible.
