There are five main types of cancer that affect a woman’s reproductive
organs: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar. As a group, they
are referred to as gynecologic (GY-neh-kuh-LAH-jik) cancer. (A sixth
type of gynecologic cancer is the very rare fallopian tube cancer.)
This fact sheet about vaginal & vulvar cancers is part of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Inside Knowledge: About
Gynecologic Cancer campaign. The campaign helps women get the
facts about gynecologic cancer, providing important “inside knowledge”
about their bodies and health.
