Anal Cancer Karin Haustermans
Case study 47-year old ♀ (activesmoker, alcohol use, history of sexual high-risk behavior): • 2006: peri-anal condylomata acuminata (genitalwarts), high-gradedysplasia • 2012: presumedrecurrence, re-resectionelsewherewithpositivemargins. However, pathologyshowed well-differentiated SCC, incompletelyresected. CT from referring hospital shows tumor in posterior anal canal, with a possible adenopathy right inguinal. Clinical examination is highly suspect for residual tumor near anal margin.
Further staging: cT1N0M0 T2-weighted MRI confirms hypointense tumor (1.2 cm LL x 1.2 cm AP x 1.9 cm CC) in posterior anal canal, with invasion of the internal & external sphincter. No adenopathies. Diffusion-weighted MRI shows hyperintense lesion in posterior anal canal on b1000 images, highly suggestive of malignancy. FDG PET-CT: uptake limited to tumor in anal canal; cN0, cM0.
Treatment? 47-year old ♀ with cT1N0M0 well-differentiated SCC of analcanal: • Proposal in referringhospital: abdomino-perinealresection (APR) with permanent colostomy. • Second opinion at Leuven: concomitant chemoradiotherapy. 45 Gy @ 1,8 Gy to pelvis posterior (Arc) with concomitant 5-FU & MMC. Brachytherapy boost is scheduled for 1 week after CRT (gap < 2w, OTT < 53d).

Intergroup RTOG 98-11: conclusions • Cisplatin/5FU was not superior to MMC/5FU for DFS (primary endpoint) • Cumulative colostomy rate was significantly worse in the cisplatin/5FU arm than the MMC/5FU arm • OS in both arms was similar • MMC/5FU remains the standard of care for patients with anal canal carcinoma

Interpretation of the results • Despite somewhat less favorable baseline characteristics, and a lower overall compliance to the planned schedule, only the arm with RT combined with CDDP/MMC passes the required threshold of 75% response rate at 8 weeks post end of treatment • EFS seems also more favorable with RT+CDDP/MMC, however the 3-year EFS rates with RT+FU/MMC seem to be in line with the 55% EFS rate anticipated when designing the phase III, but the estimation is very rough given the short follow-up and number of patients treated. • CR rates at 8 weeks may not be suitable as endpoint for phase II trials in this setting
Future • IMRT • Reduced acute toxicity • Facilitates dose painting • Can reduce the OTT (RTOG 0529)
IMRT • Challenging Even in experienced centers 79% of the IMRT plans required field modification of elective nodes after central review • A consensus is forming as to planning volumes required for IMRT
IMRT Michael NG et al, IJROBP 2012
Future • Integration of biological targeting agents • Data with EGFR inhibitors: • High expression of EGFR in anal cancer • Low rate of KRAS mutations • Response to cetuximab +/- irinotecan in 5 patients was very heterogeneous (Van Damme et al, BMC Cancer 2010)
