Popis: The standard treatment for anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is multiagent chemotherapy with radiation (CRT). This is based on several randomized trials demonstrating lower recurrence and colostomy-free survival rates with multiagent CRT; however, these studies could not confirm an overall survival (OS) benefit. We hypothesized that the lack of improved OS was due to limited sample sizes and follow-up, and that multiagent CRT is associated with higher OS. The National Cancer Database was queried for patients diagnosed with stages I, II, and II ASCC and received between 45 and 59.4 Gy of radiation between 2004 and 2015. OS of patients receiving multiagent CRT compared to monoagent CRT and radiation alone was analyzed across stages. A total of 10,438 patients received multiagent CRT, 1163 had monoagent CRT and 446 received radiation alone. Compared to the other two groups, patients receiving multiagent CRT were younger, had fewer comorbidities, and more advanced disease (all p
