title: [Prognostic factors of vaginal cancer].
abstract: Vaginal cancer is a rare disease entity in the gynecologic oncology field. Prognostic factors of the disease, however, are not established to date. Possible prognostic factors such as tumor location in vagina, tumor size, age,staging and histopathological grading are discussed following a literature review. Because the case number of the report from a single institute is really limited, accumulation and analysis of the case of multi-institutional registration are mandatory.
