The treatment for cervical cancer depends on how far the disease has progressed. Early cancer can be removed surgically or treated with radiation. When very advanced cervical cancer is untreatable, radiation can be used to relieve symptoms. Back to top Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Men who engage in anal sex are at high risk for anal squamous cell carcinoma. The anus is the opening at the end of the rectum where stool passes out of the body.
Cancer can develop on the outside of the anus or on the inside of the rectum.
Anal Pap smears The anal Pap smear is a simple, inexpensive procedure used to detect precancerous cellular changes in the anus. Regular anal Pap smears may help reduce the incidence of anal cancer. If the precancerous cellular changes can be detected before they develop into cancer, they can be treated and the cancer prevented. Although anal cancer occurs more frequently among gay and bisexual men, men and women who are infected with HIV and who regularly participate in or have participated in anal sex should have routine anal Pap smears.
