Anal cancer is a rare type of cancer that develops in the canal between the teeth. The anal canal is a little tube that runs from the end of your rectum to the outside of your body, where faeces exits.
Rectal haemorrhage and anal pain are signs and symptoms of anal cancer.
Chemotherapy and radiation are used to treat the majority of persons with anal cancer. While combining anal cancer therapies increases the likelihood of a cure, it also raises the risk of side effects.
Symptoms:
• Bleeding from the anus or rectum • Pain in the anus area are all signs and symptoms of anal cancer.
• A growth or mass in the anal canal
• Itching in the anal region
Causes:
Anal cancer is caused by a genetic mutation that causes normal, healthy cells to become aberrant. Healthy cells develop and replicate at a predetermined rate before dying at a predetermined period. Abnormal cells reproduce and expand uncontrollably and do not perish.
The aberrant cells that are accumulating form a bulk (tumor). Cancer cells infiltrate adjacent tissues and can break out from a primary tumour to spread to other parts of the body (metastasize).
Anal cancer is linked to the human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted infection (HPV). In the vast majority of anal malignancies, HPV is found. Anal malignancies are thought to be caused primarily by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Factors that are at risk:
Anal cancer has been linked to a number of conditions, including: • Growing older. Anal cancer is most common in adults over the age of 50.
• A large number of sexual partners Anal cancer is more common in people who have had many sexual partners throughout their lives.
• Sexual analgesia. Anal cancer is more likely in people who engage in receptive anal intercourse.
• Smoking. Cigarette smoking may raise your risk of developing anal cancer.
• A family history of cancer. Anal cancer is more likely in people who have had cervical, vulvar, or vaginal cancer.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) (HPV). HPV infection raises your chances of getting a variety of diseases, including anal cancer and cervical cancer. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted illness that can lead to genital warts.
• Immune-suppressing medications or disorders. Immunosuppressive medicines, such as those used to suppress the immune system and those who have had organ transplants, may increase the risk of anal cancer. The HIV virus, which causes AIDS, weakens the immune system and raises the risk of anal cancer.
