  • The development of vaginal cancer occurs slowly and the process of pre-cancerous changes (dysplasia) leading onto invasive cancer, generally takes place over years and decades. Cancers that originate in the vagina are called primary vaginal cancers. Almost all vaginal cancers are believed to originate from a premalignant lesion
  • Adenoid Basal Carcinoma of Vagina, which may be present as a lesion on the vagina, has the potential to metastasize (spread), usually to the regional lymph nodes
  • If the biopsy shows Adenoid Basal Carcinoma of Vagina; then, the tumor is staged (growth and spread of cancer is examined) and treatment options chosen, based on the staging. The treatment may involve a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy
  • The prognosis depends upon a set of several factors including the stage of the tumor, age of the individual, the size of the tumor, and many other factors. In general, early detection and adequate treatment of Adenoid Basal Carcinoma of Vagina can help achieve a better outcome
