Epidemiology

Incidence[1]

  • In women and men who do not engage in anal intercourse with other men - 0.9/100,000
  • In HIV negative men who engage in anal intercourse with other men - 35/100,000
  • In HIV positive men who engage in anal intercourse with other men - (estimated) 60-70/100,000

Anal cancer is uncommon and accounts for only 4% of all cancers of the lower alimentary tract. There are estimated to be 4,650 new cases and 690 deaths from anal cancer in the United States in 2007.[2] Because it is rare and because it occurs in a body part that is rarely discussed, most people are unaware of its existence.
