EP.FRI.253 Outcomes of treatment of anal squamous cell carcinoma over a 10-year period

Abstract

Abstract Background We evaluated our 10-year experience with the treatment and outcomes of patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC). Patients and Method Clinical and pathological data of patients with ASCC were analysed between January 2011 and December 2019. All patients underwent the standard workup according to the anal cancer network guidelines and treated accordingly. Patients were followed up clinically and with imaging according to the network protocol. The outcome measures were clinicopathological characteristics, treatment modalities, recurrent disease, disease-free and overall survival. Results 117 patients were diagnosed with ASCC over the 10-year period. 14 patients with adenocarcinoma(11), melanoma(1), Paget disease(1) and carcinoid tumour(1) were excluded. Median age of 103 patients included was 68 (38-101) years with a Male to female ratio of 1:2. Four patients were HIV positive and 42.7% of the patients had AIN of varying degree of dysplasia. 66% (68/103) of the patients had radical chemoradiotherapy with curative intent while 9 patients with tumour ≤2cm underwent wide local excision. Six patients underwent palliative therapy and the remaining 20 were on supportive palliative care. 61.2% of the patients treated with radical chemoradiotherapy had complete response while 10.7% had partial response. Four patients with incomplete response underwent salvage APER. 13% (10/77) of the patients treated with curative intention developed recurrence. The overall mean survival time was 77.9 (95% CI 66.73-89.06) months with 5-year survival rate of 59%. The overall mortality rate was 42.7% and disease-specific mortality was 26.2%. Conclusion ASCC responds well to radical chemoradiotherapy with enhanced survival rate.
