The treatmentof choice adenocarcinoma of the anal canal is abdominoperineal resection of therectum and radiotherapy are used under the same conditions as adenocarcinoma ofthe rectum. Enlarged lymph nodes seen during palpation and imaging tests should beverified by histopathology – necessary to perform a fine needle aspiration biopsy oropen surgical biopsy.

Due to the necessity of combination therapy ofcancers of the anal canal, their treatment should be reserved only for highly specialized cancer centers.In this article the author presents the case of 55-year-old man with cancer of the analcanal.
