Depends: Depending on the type of cancer, some grow slowly and some grow faster. No matter what though, early diagnosis and treatment is paramount to the best outcome. Best wishes to you.

Timeline of cancer: Most cancers of the vagina will be squamous cell carcinomas that arise from a focus of dysplasia (premalignant change). This change can take a very long time or can happen within months. If the tumor becomes invasive it can spread quickly.
