Abstract
The prevalence of anal cancer has been increasing during the past few decades, especially among the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive population.1 It is estimated that anal cancer affects approximately 46 in 100 000 HIV-positive men and 10 in 100 000 HIV-positive women compared with 2 in 100 000 HIV-negative men and negligible rates for HIV-negative women.2 The incidence of anal cancer is even higher in HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) (approximately 131 in 100 000).1
