- Anal Cancer
Anal cancer is a disease in which malignant cancerous cells form in the anal tissue. At Alfa Cytology, we are committed to helping our clients unravel the complexity of these diseases by providing integrated preclinical research solutions.
Anal cancer incidence and mortality are increasing every year from 1992 to 2022. For example, the American Cancer Society reports 9,760 new cases of anal cancer in the U.S. in 2022, up from 9,440 the year before (2022). In addition, the number of deaths due to anal cancer increases from 1,670 to 1,870 in 2022. And anal cancer is slightly more common in women than men. The increase in cases, coupled with rising mortality rates, highlights the unmet need for therapeutic advances in anal cancer.

Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) has been associated with this cancer. The combination of antibody immunotherapy and cancer vaccine is the best therapy in recent research. Vaccination reduces the lifetime risk of anal cancer and may be a cost-effective intervention.
