Overview

Surgical resection is not recommended among patients with advanced or metastatic anal cancer.

Surgery

Invasive surgery, with internal and external anal sphincter removal and permanent colostomy, was thought to be indicated for all patients with large anal cancer occuring below the dentate line. This surgery is no longer the treatment of choice.[1]
