Inclusion Criteria:

o Histologically proven primary vaginal cancer, vaginal carcinoma in situ (VAIN) or vaginal recurrence, per WHO classification.

Histological proven stage I-IVA primary vaginal cancer: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma of the vagina, other epithelial carcinoma's and carcinoma in situ

* Histological proven vaginal recurrence from any gynaecological cancer for whom curative treatment is envisioned that includes image guided adaptive brachytherapy according to the target concept.
* Para-aortic lymph node metastasis below L1-L2 interspace are allowed
* Macroscopic visible tumour present on MRI and/or gynaecological examination at diagnosis.
* Planned IGABT treatment with MRI-guided adaptive brachytherapy (at least the 1st fraction contouring and planning on MRI; CT for later fractions is allowed):

  * External beam radio(chemo)therapy followed by IGABT
  * IGABT alone for stage I \<2cm or carcinoma in situ
* Treatment with curative intent
* Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* Primary vaginal cancers with involvement of the ostium of the cervix or vulva (these should be classified as cervical cancer or vulvar cancer, respectively)
* Metastatic disease beyond para-aortic region L1-L2 interspace
* Sarcomas and melanomas.
* Treatment only by external beam radiotherapy without brachytherapy to boost the primary disease
* Primary vaginal cancer: treatment by primary surgery or debulking surgery
* Vaginal recurrences: treatment by primary surgery or debulking surgery
* Treatment with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery
* Treatment with radiotherapy followed by surgery
* Previous pelvic or abdominal radiotherapy
* Pregnancy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

Local failure

A new, recurrent or progressive residual tumor within the external beam low-risk clinical target volume (CTV-TLR).

Time frame: 2 and 5 years of follow-up

Late physician-assessed morbidity and patient reported outcomes

Physician-assessed (CTCAE v.5) and Patient Reported Outcome (EORTC C30, selected items of CX24, EN24 and VU34).

Time frame: 2 and 5 years of follow-up

Acute physician-assessed morbidity and patient reported outcomes

Physician-assessed (CTCAE v.5) and Patient Reported Outcome (EORTC C30, selected items of CX24, EN24 and VU34).

Time frame: End of Treatment

Secondary Outcomes

Other oncological outcomes

Regional failure, distant metastasis, disease free survival, disease-specific survival, overall survival.

Time frame: 2 and 5 years of follow-up
