Human papillomavirus, radiation dose and survival of patients with anal cancer.

Conclusion: We found HPV to be a significant prognostic marker in anal tumors, especially for locally advanced disease. We further found that higher radiation dose up to 55-60 Gy was associated with better OS, but only for patients with locally advanced, HPV negative disease.
