AB  - The  anal  canal  is  lined  from  its  proximal  to  distal  extent  by  columnar,  transitional,  and  non-keratinized  squamous  epithelium,  which  merges  at  the  anal  verge  with  the  keratinized  perianal  skin.Cancers  arising  from  the  mucosa  of  the  anal  canal  are  relatively  rare,  comprising  only  2%  of  all  GI  malignancies.  Anal  carcinoma  occurred  in  an  estimated  8590  patients  in  the  United  States  in  2020,  more  commonly  in  women  than  men  (2:1  ratio).  Squamous  cell  carcinomas  (SCC)  make  up  the  majority  of  anal  cancers;  adenocarcinomas  account  for  the  remainder  but  are  uncommon.
