Early-stage Favourable Anal Cancer: A Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Outcomes of a Moderately Low Dose Elective Nodal Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy Schedule.

In this retrospective study we evaluated the long-term results of 35 early-stage favourable T1-2 N0 M0 anal cancer patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy techniques combining low dose prophylactic inguinal-pelvic irradiation with dose-escalated boost. Optimal locoregional control and good tolerance makes this treatment a valuable alternative to brachytherapy boost and involved-field radiotherapy plans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
