anal cancer poor chemo candidate
I have an elderly patient with a T3N0 anal squam.
Not a great 5FU/MMC candidate per med onc.
If you were to try to twist the arm of med onc into something radiosensitizing, what would you consider? xeloda or weekly cis?
I see this case series using just 5FU.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
