Trends in the Incidence of Vulvar and Vaginal Cancers With Different Histology by Race, Age, and Region in the United States (2001-2018).

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The race, age, and region-stratified incidence of vulvar (VUC) and vaginal (VAC) cancers with different histology were unclear. Methods: Data was retrieved from the United States Cancer Statistics database. Average annual percent change (AAPC) and incidence rate ratio (IRR) were calculated. Results: Overall, VUC incidence increased from 18.3 (per 1,000,000 woman-years) to 19.6, but VAC incidence decreased from 5.6 to 4.4. VUC squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) incidence increased (AAPC, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.66-1.25), VUC adenocarcinoma (ADE) incidence stabilized (AAPC, -0.24; 95% CI, -1.44 to 0.98), and VUC other malignancies (OM) incidence decreased (AAPC, -1.31; 95% CI, -2.58 to -0.02). While VAC incidence decreased for any histology (AAPC, -0.63; 95% CI, -1.03 to
