ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To develop a predictive index model, integrating both clinical and high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) features to further personalize the decision making process in anal canal carcinoma in COVID19 era. METHODS AND MATERIALS We assess HRA parameters after definitive chemoradiotherapy in patients with anal canal malignant lesions.RESULTS:
HRA features could be important to assess the effect of CRT and a risk stratification system should be introduced in clinical practice to better allocate therapeutic interventions.CONCLUSION:
To our knowledge this is the first proposal for HRA findings in anal canal cancer after definitive CRT. We believe that a risk score can be useful to estimate the risk of treatment failure (in term of persistence disease and/or recurrence) and its clinical relevance should not to be underestimated.
