Abstract:
Anal cancer represents a rare type of gastrointestinal malignancy with anal squamous cell carcinoma as the most common histologic type. This review aims to present up-to-date imaging recommendations for anal cancer, including for baseline staging and follow-up assessment after treatment, with an emphasis on the role of MR imaging. Treatment complications are also discussed, helping to familiarize radiologists to include them in their search patterns. Lastly, a short discussion on the future horizon of anal cancer imaging is presented.
