Abstract
Among a large sample of US veterans with anal cancer, IMRT was associated with higher rates of receiving 2 chemotherapy cycles, decreased radiation treatment breaks, and decreased rates of ostomy placement. IMRT appears to offer substantial benefits over conventional radiation therapy for patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiation therapy for anal cancer.
