Squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina is one of the least understood malignant tumors arising from the female genital tract. Vital facts on its clinical and biologic behavior are difficult to collate in a cumulative way. Its intermediate position in the pelvis makes it a difficult site to which to apply conventional methods of treatment without associated morbidity; its rareness precludes developing expertise by no more than a few therapists and allows few the opportunity to test new ideas encased in research protocols; and its variegated presentations invite individualization as the only therapeutic approach. Squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina remains an enigma among gynecologic neoplasms.
阴道鳞状细胞癌是女性生殖道来源的恶性肿瘤中了解最少的肿瘤之一。关于其临床和生物学行为的重要事实很难以累积的方式整理。它在骨盆中的中间位置使其成为一个难以应用传统治疗方法而不伴有相关发病率的部位；其罕见性使得只有少数治疗师能够积累专业知识，并且很少有人有机会在研究方案中测试新想法；其多样化的表现使得个体化成为唯一的治疗方法。阴道鳞状细胞癌在妇科肿瘤中仍然是一个谜。
