Long-term results of chemoradiation plus pulsed-dose-rate brachytherapy boost in anal canal carcinoma: A mono-institutional retrospective analysis.

However, further improvement of clinical results in ACC treatment is needed, and therefore prospective trials based on advanced (image-guided/adapted) BRT techniques are warranted.
