Carcinomas of the Vagina

Scope

The dataset has been developed for the pathological reporting of resection specimens of primary carcinomas of the vagina (including carcinosarcomas).

Haematopoietic neoplasms, mesenchymal neoplasms, mixed epithelial and mesenchymal neoplasms, malignant melanomas, other non-epithelial malignancies and metastatic tumours are excluded from this dataset.

Due to the rarity of primary vaginal carcinomas, there is little published research regarding some of the elements included in this dataset and some of the parameters included are ‘extrapolated’ from primary cervical and vulval carcinomas and/or represent the opinions and experience of the members of the ICCR Carcinoma of the Vagina Dataset Authoring Committee.

Publication History

This dataset was developed with the kind support of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists (ISGyP).
