Objective. To evaluate clinical outcome, prognostic factors and chronic morbidity with radiotherapy for vaginal cancer treatment.Materials and methods. 68 patient with vaginal cancer treated by radical or adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) were selected. Five with rare subtypes of histopathology and 8 with adenocarcinoma were excluded from this study. 76.4% of the remainder had early-stage diseases (stage 1: 14, 11: 28, 111: 9, and IV: 4). The patients in the years from which they were treated were almost evenly distributed (1st 5 years: 13, 2nd: 14, 3rd: 16, and 4th: 12). There were four treatment groups: external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) alone (n = 18), brachytherapy (BT) alone (n =4), EBRT and BT (n = 30), and surgery plus RT (n = 3).Results. Median follow-up was 50.3 months ranging from 3 to 213 months. 5-year overall survival (OS) was 55.6%, disease-specific survival (DSS) was 77.3%, disease-feee survival was 74.2%, and local control was 87.7%. Independent prognostic factors for DSS and OS were tumor stage, site and size (p
