Metastatic cloacogenic carcinoma of the anus: sequential responses to adriamycin and cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II).
A case of cloacogenic carcinoma of the anus with pulmonary metastases successfully treated with adriamycin and subsequently with cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) (CDP) is reviewed. Cloacogenic carcinoma of the anus is a very uncommon tumor, and this is the first report of a major response to chemotherapy alone. Adriamycin and/or CDP should be considered in the therapy of this tumor.
