Anal Cancer Complications
About 70% of
patients with anal cancer are effectively treated with non-surgical treatment, and known no complications.
However, in some patients, the tumor persists even after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and
spread from its primary site into other
parts of the body; this
condition is called metastatic anal
cancer.
Metastatic anal cancer
is rare,
but possible; the cancer can spread to your liver and the lungs, and become life threatening. In general, if
you have anal cancer your five-year survival rate is very low.
