Impact of Surgical Resection on Survival Outcomes After Chemoradiotherapy in Anal Adenocarcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: In the largest series of anal adenocarcinoma cases to date, treatment with CRT followed by surgery was associated with a significant survival benefit compared with CRT alone in propensity score-matching analysis. Our findings support national guideline recommendations of neoadjuvant CRT followed by resection for patients with anal adenocarcinoma. PMID: 31590155 [PubMed - in process]
