Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a 20 patient pilot study to examine the feasibility of dose-adapted radiation therapy for the treatment of locally advanced anal squamous cell cancer. The tumor and a patient's anatomy may change during radiation treatment and daily adaption of the radiation plan (i.e., a new daily plan based on the anatomy of the day) may help to maximize the dose to the tumor and minimize the radiation dose to the normal surrounding organs.

- Chemotherapy and Adaptive Radiation Treatment Planning
- description
- Subjects will receive concurrent chemotherapy and radiation as part of their treatment for anal cancer. Subjects will receive standard of care 54 Gy of radiation, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. In addition, subjects will receive standard of care chemotherapy, with mitomycin C (10mg/meters squared IV on Day 1) and 5-Fluorouracil (1000mg/meters squared via IV on days 1-4 and 29-32) or capecitabine (825 mg/meters squared in two divided doses by mouth on days of radiotherapy).
