Squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) is strongly associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection which represents the causative agent in 80%–85% of patients (usually from HPV16 or HPV18 subtypes in Europe) as is its precursor lesion anal intra-epithelial neoplasia (AIN) 3. This ESMO-ESSO-ESTRO Guideline gives information on the incidence and epidemiology, diagnosis, screening, pathology and molecular biology of the disease as well as current treatment options and follow-up.
