Overview

This protocol aims to determine toxicity and efficacy of re-irradiation for patients with recurrences from anal cancers with dose-escalated pencil beam proton therapy either pre-operative for marginally resectable recurrences or as a definitive treatment strategy (un-resectable, operation declined etc.). The over-all aim is to improve local tumor control with acceptable side effects.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Recurrent anal cancer
  • Bioptically verified (squamous cell carcinoma)
  • Available dose plan from primary radiotherapy
  • Previous RT (>30Gy EQD2)
  • Evaluated in MDT-conferences (Herlev, Aarhus)
  • Age>18 years
  • PS 0-2
  • Adequate organ function
  • Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Distant metastases deemed without curative intended treatment options (PET-CT)
  • Unable to undergo MRI, PET-CT
  • Inability to attend full course radiotherapy and follow up in the outpatient clinic.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
