ABSTRACT

Cancer of the anal canal and anus is considered rare, however, its incidence has slightly increased representing 1 to 2% of all neoplasms of the large intestine. Among the factors that are associated with the genesis of these tumors is the condition by the human papillomavirus. We present the case of a 32-year-old female patient who attends the Radiotherapy service of the Hermanos Ameijeiras Clinical Surgical Hospital, with a history of Down Syndrome and a diagnosis of a squamous cell carcinoma of the anus and perianal region, exophytic variant and with a history of infection by the human papillomavirus. It is evaluated in a multidisciplinary team and has no surgical criteria due to tumor size, so it was decided according to staging concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The patient presented a complete response to treatment with radiotherapy, without presenting complications, which demonstrates the effectiveness of radiotherapy in tumors of the anus and anal canal.
