The most common treatment for vaginal cancer is surgery. Depending on how far advanced the cancer is, part or the entire vagina will be removed during surgery.

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy may also be used to kill the cancerous cells.As with most types of cancer, early detection and treatment offers the best chances of recovery which is why regular cervical smear tests are so important.
