What is Anal Cancer Surgery?
Anal cancer is a rare cancer that starts in the anus, which is the opening at the end of the large bowel. It is different from cancer that starts in the rectum or colon (bowel cancer). The main risk factor for anal cancer is human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Symptoms of anal cancer include bleeding from the anus or rectum, pain in the anal area, a mass or growth in the anal opening, lasting anal itching, and changes in bowel habits. These symptoms may be mistaken for hemorrhoids. Treatment for anal cancer typically involves a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the cancer. The choice of treatment depends on the stage and location of the cancer. For early-stage cancers, surgery may be the primary treatment. For more advanced cancers, a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be used. In some cases, a colostomy may be necessary to remove all the cancer cells. To reduce the risk of anal cancer, it is recommended to practice safer sex, reduce the number of sexual partners, and consider the HPV vaccine. In India, anal cancer is a rare condition, but it is important to seek medical advice if you experience any symptoms. Early detection and treatment can improve the chances of a successful outcome.

How You Prepare for Anal Cancer Surgery
Anal cancer treatment often involves surgery following chemotherapy or radiation. Preparation minimizes surgical risks and supports smoother recovery. Follow these guidelines as directed by your colorectal surgeon and oncology team.
Food and Medicines
- Avoid all food and drink for at least 8 hours before surgery.
- Provide your surgical and oncology team with a complete list of your medications, supplements, and allergies.
- You may need to stop taking blood thinners and NSAIDs 5–7 days prior to surgery, as advised.
- Follow bowel preparation instructions, which often include a clear liquid diet, laxatives, and enemas.
- Take all prescribed antibiotics exactly as instructed before surgery.
- Inform your care team if you’ve undergone recent chemotherapy or radiation.
What to Expect
- Surgery duration varies based on tumor size and type, typically lasting between 1–3 hours.
- Expect a hospital stay of 1–7 days depending on recovery and procedure type.
- You may have surgical drains or a temporary colostomy based on the extent of surgery.
- Pain will be managed with prescription medications.
- Home recovery generally takes between 2–6 weeks.
- Follow-up visits are essential for monitoring healing and reviewing pathology results.
- Additional post-operative chemotherapy or radiation may be necessary based on surgical findings.
