Book Chapter Description

Vulvar and vaginal carcinomas are primarily cancers of the elderly. Vulvar carcinomas are treated and staged surgically with adjuvant therapy consisting of radiation therapy in the majority of cases. Conversely, vaginal carcinomas are typically treated with radiation therapy, with surgery being utilized in select cases. This chapter will review epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of vulvar and vaginal carcinomas, with a focus on the effect of treatment on elderly women affected by these cancers.
