Overview

The vagina is a part of the female reproductive system that starts from the lower part of the cervix and opens at the external female genitals (vulva). The types of vaginal cells include melanocytes, squamous cells, glandular cells, and muscle cells. Mutation in the DNA of any of these cells results in their uncontrolled growth and cell division, leading to vaginal cancer. Most cases of vaginal cancer do not present any symptoms. Thus, screening is essential for early detection. The chances of vaginal cancer treatment increase if the disease is diagnosed early.
