Abstract
Although there are data supporting a reduction in acute effects using intensity-modulated radiotherapy in anal cancer, there is very little in the literature to establish the late toxicity profile. Our results indicate that there is an effect on bowel and sexual function, but it does not increase over the period observed. These data provide a benchmark against which to compare outcomes with future manipulation in treatment, and provide us with real information to give patients as to the expectation of their functional outcome after treatment.
