β¦ Synopsis
The incidence of malignancy of the anus is rare when compared to colorectal cancer. At The New York Hospital-Come11 Medical Center, 43 patients with a n a l cancer were seen since 1932. Five-year survival for patients treated by local excision, abdominal-perineal resection, and abdominal perineal resection with associated inguinofemoral groin node dissection was 4396, 6696, a n d 3396, respectively. Therapy should be guided by location, size, and depth of the local lesion, as well as clinical node status. I n general, local excision should be reserved for the most minute lesion. Groin dissection should be carried out when nodes are clinically diseased.
