Vaginal cancer is rare and most commonly occurs in the cells that line the surface of your vagina.


Dr Sarika Gupta is a Senior Consultant Gynecologic Oncology and Robotic Gynecology at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi.
Vaginal cancer is rare and most commonly occurs in the cells that line the surface of your vagina.
About 0.25% of the population carry mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 #genes.
A BRCA mutation occurs when the DNA that makes up the gene becomes damaged in some way.
When a BRCA gene is mutated, it may no longer be effective at repairing broken #DNA and helping to prevent breast cancer.
Mutations in either the breast cancer gene (BRCA1 or BRCA2) significantly increase the risk of:
• Breast cancer
• Male breast cancer
• Ovarian cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Pancreatic cancer
• Melanoma
