Chemoradiation versus local excision in treatment of stage I anal squamous cell carcinoma: A population-based analysis

摘要

Introduction: Chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is the standard treatment for anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) but can have significant treatment related toxicities. Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of local excision (LE) for stage I ASCC with comparable oncologic outcomes to CRT. We aimed to evaluate this finding in a large population-based database.
