Anal canal cancer

This Phase 2 trial tests a new way of delivering radiation therapy (SIB-IMRT) together with standard chemotherapy (5-FU and Mitomycin-C) for people with locally advanced anal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve tumor control and reduce the severe side effects …

This trial compares three modern radiotherapy techniques—helical tomotherapy and two types of dynamic arc therapy (RapidArc and VMAT)—for treating prostate, cervical, and anal canal cancers that require pelvic lymph node irradiation. The goal is to determine which method is most …

This study looked at whether removing small, early-stage anal cancers with local surgery alone is safe and effective for people with HIV. The goal was to see if this less invasive approach could avoid the need for stronger treatments like radiation or chemotherapy. Sixteen partic…

This study looks at whether a blood test that detects tumor DNA can find early signs of cancer returning in people treated for HPV-positive pelvic cancers (like cervical or anal cancer). Researchers will take blood samples from 172 patients during regular follow-up visits. The go…

This study looked at whether having a special consultation with a radiotherapy technician (called a manipulator) helps cancer patients feel more informed about their treatment. Researchers enrolled 308 adults with various cancers who were getting radiation therapy. They compared …

This study followed 110 people with anal cancer to see if PET/CT scans can help doctors monitor the disease after initial treatment. Researchers tracked how long patients stayed cancer-free and measured metabolic activity in tumors. The goal is to find better ways to detect relap…
