Endoscopic submucosal dissection to treat squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the anal canal.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The standard treatment for invasive squamous cell anal cancer is chemoradiation treatment. However, treatment options for high-grade dysplasia (squamous cell cancer in situ) are either surgical excision or topical treatment modalities. There are a few case reports, mainly from Japan, about resecting early squamous cell anal cancer (high-grade dysplasia/carcinoma in situ) by endoscopic submucosal dissection. We present a case series of 3 patients from a western hemisphere population with squamous carcinoma in situ of the anal canal resected with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).

Methods

This is a retrospective series of 3 patients from a western hemisphere population with squamous carcinoma in situ of the anal canal resected with ESD. All patients we
