The purpose of this article is to review the role of imaging in the management of patients with anal cancer. The relevant anatomy, imaging techniques, and interpretation of images of patients before and after therapy will be discussed.
Anal carcinomas are uncommon but increasing in frequency. Radiologists must recognize typical patterns of disease at initial evaluation, posttherapy appearances, and when to suspect residual or recurrent disease to guide clinicians and achieve optimal patient outcome.

肛门癌虽不常见，但发病率呈上升趋势。放射科医生必须在初始评估、治疗后表现以及何时怀疑残留或复发疾病时识别出疾病的典型模式，以指导临床医生并实现患者的最佳转归。
