  schema:description "Vaginal melanoma is a very rare, aggressive melanoma of the vaginal lining in older women, usually found late because it is hidden, with the worst outlook of any melanoma site. It is treated with surgery where the tumour can be removed and radiotherapy where it cannot; advanced disease gets the drugs used for mucosal melanoma. Unlike skin melanoma it is as common in black as in white women."@en ;
