Abstract
A squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal appeared 10 years and 6 months after ionizing radiation therapy (58 Gy) for a previous squamous cell carcinoma in the same region. The patient was treated with chemotherapy alone, which produced a complete remission for 17+ months without relevant acute toxicity.
