Trial ID: NCT00568425

Age - 30 Years-70 Years Condition - Anal Cancer Gender - ALL Accepting Healthy Volunteers - No

Purpose

The purpose of this study is show that intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), as compared with conventional radiotherapy, improves the precision of tumor targeting and reduces the acute and late effects of radiation toxicity when used to treat anal cancer. Results from this work will provide a basis for incorporating the use of IMRT to treat anal cancer in future treatment protocols.
