A Prospective Pilot Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy in Reducing Toxicity in Anal Cancer
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether the amount of radiation given to
the normal areas around the anal cancer can be reduced by using Proton Therapy while reducing
the side effects that are seen with standard therapy.
