Treatment 1- At the anal verge • Local excision with 2.5 cm safety margin • -Inguinal lymph node block dissection if there is lymph node metastasis
2- At the anal canal • Chemo-radiation • combination of chemotherapy (5.FU+mitomycin) and radiotherapy (interstitial or intracavitary) • If inguinal lymph node is involved block inguinal lymph node dissection. • Curative or help in downstaging • Abdomino perineal excision in: 1- Tumour more than 5cm 2- Failed chemo-radiation
