In Japan, the standard treatment for squamous cell anal cancer(SCAC)has not been established. Herein, we report a case of SCAC that completely responded to chemoradiotherapy(CRT).A woman in her 80s presented with anal pain and bleeding. Computed tomography revealed bilateral inguinal adenopathy and a tumor in the anal canal. Histopathological examination of endoscopic biopsies showed adenocarcinoma. Thus, she was diagnosed with anal canal adenocarcinoma and lymph node metastases:cT3, cN1a(No. 292), cM0, cStage Ⅲc(Japanese Classification of Colorectal, Appendiceal, and Anal Carcinoma, 9th edition). Owing to her advanced age and refusal of a stoma, CRT(S-1, mitomycin C, and radiotherapy)was administered with the expectation that salvage surgery in the form of rectal amputation would eventually be necessary. The tumor noticeably shrank after CRT. The patient is alive to this date,14 months after the final round of CRT. |
