Factors Influencing Outcomes and Survival in Anal Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aim to ascertain prognostic factors in the current management of anal cancer within this study.

Methods

We reviewed the management and outcomes of anal cancer cases over a seven-year period, inclusive (2016-2023). The primary objectives were to assess the demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, and outcomes of all anal cancer patients within our institution. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate survival differences between cohorts, with statistical significance determined using log-rank testing. Cox proportional hazards regression was utilised to identify prognostic factors. Cox regression hazard ratios were reported along with confidence intervals and p-values.

Results

The median follow-up time for the study was 29.8 mo
