Treatments for stage 0 anal cancer
The following are treatment options for stage 0 anal cancer. Your healthcare team will suggest treatments based on your needs and work with you to develop a treatment plan.
Surgery
Surgery is the main treatment for stage 0 anal cancer found in the perianal area. A wide local excision is the most common type of surgery. It removes the tumour and a small amount of tissue around it (called the surgical margin).
If cancer cells are found in the surgical margin, you may have more surgery.
Clinical trials
Talk to your doctor about clinical trials open to people with anal cancer in Canada. Clinical trials look at new ways to prevent, find and treat cancer. Find out more about clinical trials.
