Most cancers of the vagina(G) are secondary or metastatic, that is, they have arisen somewhere else, usually from the cervix(G) or vulva(G) and spread to the vagina. Primary cancer of the Vagina is a very uncommon disease accounting for less than 2% of all cases of cancer of the female genital tract. In Queensland there are generally less than ten cases of vaginal cancer each year. Most cases occur in women over the age of fifty years.
