Abstract
Since the 1990, chemoradiation has become the standard treatment for locally advanced anal cancer. Recent progress in molecular biology and the growing number of elderly patients invite the clinicians to personalize the multimodal therapy strategy. However, data about anal cancer and elderly patients or targeted therapy are extremely sparse. Indeed, national or international guidelines don't mention these two subjects. The purpose of this article is to make the state of art of the management of anal cancer and its interferences with geriatrics and molecular targeted therapy.
