Abstract
Squamous-cell anal cancer is a rare disease that requires a comprehensive approach in treatment and skilled professionals. Modern diagnostics is important for rational choice of treatment tactics. Radiotherapy is the cornerstone of sphincter-sparing anal cancer treatment. Radiotherapy dose, volume and duration are the key factors affecting treatment efficacy and toxicity.3D-conformal radiotherapy is a priority treatment allowing exact reproduction of treatment conditions, controlled by OBI (on-board imager) and kV X-Ray and cone-beam CT analysis. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a next-generation treatment with improved technologies, allowing better protection of normal tissues.Our experience with 21 squamous-cell anal cancer patients treated with IMRT during Nov 2011 – March 2013 is presented in this article.
