Abstract

Anal cancer, a rare gastrointestinal disease, accounts for 1–2.5% of gastrointestinal cancers. Primary treatment is chemoradiation. Ten to 30% of patients experience local relapse, and salvage surgery is a second line of treatment for these patients. Wide local excision, abdominoperineal resection, pelvic exenteration with or without sacrectomy, and inguinal node dissection are all surgical options. In this chapter, we review the management and treatment options for patients who are initially treated with chemoradiation and experience local-regional recurrence of the disease.
