The article focuses on the descriptive studies of the epidemiology of vaginal cancer in the U.S. It states that vaginal cancer is a rare malignancy and it has the same risk factors with cervical cancer including a strong association with persistent human papillomavirus infection. It infers that the incidence rates of in situ vaginal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the same for white and black women but the rates for invasive cancer is higher among black women as compared to white women.
