Research and clinical trials for anal cancer

Researchers are currently looking at better ways to treat anal cancer and manage treatment side effects.

Our clinical trials database has open, closed and result summaries of trials in the UK.

Trials aim to find out if a new test, procedure or treatment is safe and better than those currently available.

Find out what you should know, and what questions you should ask before agreeing to take part in a clinical trial.
