Over the last few decades, cancer has taken center stage in both the medical and media communities. This is largely in part due to the unbearable symptoms and often aggressive treatments that are inseparable from this terrible disease. However, there is one form of cancer that far too many people completely overlook — anal cancer.

What Is Anal Cancer?

Anal cancer is a form of cancer that starts at the opening of one’s anus (i.e., where the rectum ends).

. So, as tough as it is to acknowledge, this type of discussion needs to happen.
