While anal cancer is somewhat rare, it is increasing in incidence despite improving screening and the human papillomavirus vaccine. Given this, there is growing research into the management of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion as well as how to optimize screening approaches. This includes increased study of biomarkers to improve screening sensitivity as well as strategies to improve access and reduce loss to follow-up. Additionally, there is an ongoing research into the role of the microbiome in oncogenesis and research to adapt other treatments to anal cancer.
