Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed trends in the incidence of vaginal cancer in France over 28 years and assessed survival rates for women diagnosed recently (2010-2015).
- Data from French cancer registries showed a significant 3% annual decline in the age-standardized incidence rate of vaginal cancer from 1990 (0.4 cases per 100,000) to 2018 (0.2 cases per 100,000).
- Although vaginal cancer remains rare, with a median diagnosis age of 75 and low 5-year net survival rates (45%), the decrease in incidence is not yet clearly linked to HPV vaccination, as the disease primarily affects older women.
