Anal Cancer
What is Anal Cancer?
Anal cancer is a relatively rare form of cancer that develops in the tissues of the anus. The anus is the opening at the end of the digestive tract through which stool leaves the body. This type of cancer typically begins in the cells around the anus and can spread to nearby lymph nodes and other parts of the body if not treated.

- Weakened Immune System: Individuals with weakened immune systems due to conditions like HIV/AIDS are at higher risk.
