Diagnosis
ANAL CANCER
http://www.analcancerfoundation.org/learn/anal-cancer/
The National Cancer Institute predicts that in 2013 7,060 people will be diagnosed with anal cancer in the United States. This is a significant increase from the 5,820 people (3,680 women and 2,140 men) diagnosed in 2011. In the United Kingdom, about 1,100 people are diagnosed with anal cancer each year. Anal cancer is increasing in its incidence and is affecting more people across the world every year. Yet, for many people, anal cancer is difficult to discuss. The social stigma that anal cancer carries with it prevents fair and equitable conversation, awareness, and funding that could support research and care for people with the disease.
