[Effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy for three cases of squamous cell anal carcinoma].
We report three patients with squamous cell anal carcinoma who were treated by chemoradiotherapy. Case 1: A 62-year-old female with squamous cell anal carcinoma invading the vagina underwent a posterior pelvic exenteration. She had paraaortic lymph node metastases. She was treated by chemoradiotherapy with 5-FU/CDDP and external irradiation (50 Gy) as an adjuvant therapy, and survived for 5 years. Case 2: A 74-year-old female with anal squamous cell carcinoma Stage II was treated by chemoradiotherapy with tegafur/uracil, external irradiation (30 Gy) and interstitial irradiation (24 Gy). She is currently living without any signs of recurrence for 3 years and 8 months. Case 3: A 53-year-old female with anal squamous cell carcinoma Stage IIIa was treated by chemoradiotherapy using 5'-DFUR and external irradiation (66 Gy). She is currently living without any signs of recurrence for 1 year and 9 months. The prognosis of anal squamous cell carcinoma that received Cur B or C resection was extremely poor with a median survival time (MST) of 7 or 6 months. Chemoradiotherapy seems to be effective as the first line treatment.
