Treatment of anal carcinoma in Germany
Modern standards of therapy with preservation of the sphincter apparatus
Anal carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor of the anal canal that requires a comprehensive approach. RheinRegio Klinik Zentrum uses organ-preserving techniques, including chemoradiotherapy according to the Nigro protocol, which allows 80% of patients to avoid a calostomy. Our goal is radical treatment while maintaining quality of life.
