Anal cancer types
There are numerous types of anal cancer, each characterized by the malignant tumor that develops. A tumor is a type of cancerous growth in the body. Tumors are classified as benign or malignant. If left untreated, malignant tumors can spread to other parts of the body.
Tumors include the following:
Benign tumors. Noncancerous tumors are benign tumors. Polyps, skin tags, granular cell tumors, and genital warts are examples of the anus (condylomas).
Precancerous conditions. This term refers to benign tumors that can develop into malignant tumors over time, which is common in anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) and anal squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (ASIN) (ASIL).
Squamous cell carcinoma In the United States, squamous cell cancer is the most common type of Bowen’s disease This condition, also known as squamous cell carcinoma in situ, is distinguished by abnormal cells on the anal surface tissue that have not spread to deeper layers.
Cancer of the basal cell. Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that primarily affects sun-exposed skin. As a result, it is a very rare form of anal cancer.
Adenocarcinoma. This is a rare type of cancer that develops from the glands that surround anal cancer.
Symptoms to look out for:
- Bleeding is the most common symptom associated with anal cancer.
- Anal itching can be a symptom of cancer, many people mistake their bleeding and itching for haemorrhoids. This can cause anal cancer to be misdiagnosed.
- Anal discomfort or pressure.
- Discharges from the anus are unusual.
- A lump close to the anus
