Abstract:
ANAL CANCER Anal cancer, a rare disease, had increased annual incidence in the recent decades due to high prevalence of HPV. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent histological type and pelvic lymph node invasion is common. However metastatic progression remains unfrequent. Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is the current standard of care achieving a good loco-regional control, whereas salvage surgery can be proposed in case of treatment failure or local relapse. Better oncological results have been seen given the technological advances in radiotherapy and radiology, whereas chemotherapy has not been modified for 40 years. Personnalized strategies taking into account tumoral staging and patient characteristics as well as immunotherapy are being investigated in current trials. Finally, major advances could come from HPV vaccination.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
