Anal Cancer

Anal cancer diagnosis

Anal cancer can be detected in several ways, including during a standard rectal exam. Your anal canal and rectum may also be examined with a special lighted tool called an anoscope to reveal abnormalities visually. In other cases, an ultrasound test may be performed where a device that emits sound waves in the body is used to produce a visual representation of the area. Diagnosis is confirmed through a biopsy in which tissue samples are removed and sent to our on-site lab for testing and evaluation may be performed.

What are the types of anal cancer?

But is a specific form of cancer:

Squamous cell carcinoma: These cancers develop in the inner lining of the anus, called the mucosa.

Adenocarcinoma: These cancers develop first in the glandular (epithelial tissue) cells responsible for releasing body substances.
Basal cell carcinoma: These cancers appear on the skin surrounding the anus.

Melanoma: These cancers start in specific skin cells, called melanocytes. The onset of disease begins with a change in the skin in the anus region.
