Abstract
Introduction
Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is rare, and optimal treatment for patients unsuitable for definitive chemoradiotherapy remains undefined. This study describes PACTUS (Palliative Anal Cancer Treatment Uppsala Style), a two-week radiotherapy regimen designed for symptom relief and potentially durable local control.
