    Can be caused by high risk HPV ( Cancer Res 1999;59:753 ) EGFR overexpression is common ( Mod Pathol 2006;19:942 ) Clinical features Presenting symptoms include rectal bleeding, pain, mass Treatment Surgery with chemoradiation Clinical images Images hosted [pathologyoutlines.com]

    The most common symptom is rectal bleeding or blood in the stools (poo), with almost half of all patients affected in this way. [beatingbowelcancer.org]

    Affecting approximately 7,000 people in the United States each year, anal cancer can cause rectal bleeding and anal pain. Anal cancer is divided into cancers of the anal canal and cancers of the lower part of the anus known as the anal margin. [brighamandwomens.org]

    Anal cancer often presents with rectal bleeding. People who experience bleeding, itching, or pain in the anus often go to the doctor before anal cancer progresses past stage one. [healthline.com]

    Symptoms and signs Common symptoms of anal cancer may include rectal bleeding noticeable if there is blood on feces or toilet paper pain in the anal area lumps around the anus, which may be mistaken for piles, or hemorrhoids mucus or jelly-like discharge [medicalnewstoday.com]

  • Constipation

    By the end of October 2009, Tiffany was experiencing extreme fatigue, severe constipation, and progressively worsening rectal pain and pressure. [oncnursingnews.com]

    In case 2, a 71-year-old woman underwent a colonoscopy due to constipation, and an elevated lesion, 25 mm in size, was identified from the dentate line to the anal canal. [karger.com]

    Side effects may include: diarrhea or constipation soreness and blistering around the target area, which is the anus a higher susceptibility to infections during treatment fatigue loss of appetite nausea or vomiting mouth ulcers or sore mouth loss of [medicalnewstoday.com]

  • Fecal Incontinence

    Some patients have fecal incontinence after combined chemotherapy and radiation. Biopsies to document disease regression after chemotherapy and radiation were commonly advised, but are not as frequent any longer. [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Rectal Pain

    By the end of October 2009, Tiffany was experiencing extreme fatigue, severe constipation, and progressively worsening rectal pain and pressure. [oncnursingnews.com]

    Within one month of his surgery, the patient developed severe rectal pain and bleeding. Physical exam was limited at this time due to patient discomfort. [jgo.amegroups.com]

PET-CT Recent research suggests that there are grounds for using PET-CT routinely in the workup of anal cancer, as it alters the initial staging sufficiently frequently 4. [radiopaedia.org]

Workup for Anal Canal Cancer • PET imaging is useful in further evaluating the extent of the primary tumor and the presence of regional lymph node metastases, and distant metastases, as well as in evaluating the response to therapy. • For patients with [slideshare.net]

After 2 years, 40% of patients with multimodal treatment and 20% of those without ablative treatment were alive. LIMITATIONS: This study is limited by its retrospective design and modest sample size. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis of Anal Cancer (Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Anus) Anal cancer prognosis depends upon the size of the anal tumour, where the anal tumour is and whether it has spread to the lymph nodes. [myvmc.com]

Etiology The most important risk factors for HPV and SCC are behaviors that predispose individuals to HPV infection or immunosuppression. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

(Etiology) Untreated (or delayed treatment of) squamous cell carcinoma in situ can result in invasive squamous cell carcinoma. [dovemed.com]

Additional hypermetabolic activity was noted in the paraaortic and prevascular lymph node regions, but these findings were thought to be inflammatory in etiology rather than metastatic. [jgo.amegroups.com]

A further complication is that pathophysiologically, cancer of the anal margin (perianal skin) may be more closely related to penile and vulvar cancers than to cervical cancer, and the former are much less well studied than the latter. [10] In current [emedicine.medscape.com]

In the future, cytological screening of male homosexuals with an anal Papanicolaou test may help in identifying high-grade dysplasia and preventing anal cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
