Screening methods for anal cancer in high-risk adults
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study is looking at ways to screen for anal cancer in people who are at higher risk, such as those with weakened immune systems or a history of abnormal cells in the lower genital tract. It aims to find better methods for early detection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial checks whether tumor samples contain HPV DNA (genetic material from the HPV virus). The goal is to improve detection in anal and cervical cancers, especially in patients planning standard radiation treatment.
This trial checks whether anal cancer screening is useful for women age 40 and older who previously had high-grade vulvar pre-cancer (VIN 2/3) or vulvar cancer. It may help find serious problems earlier in people at higher risk.
This study looks for early anal cell changes in women who have had high-grade HPV-related problems in the cervix, vagina, or vulva. It may help find concerning changes sooner, using a structured screening exam.
This study tests how well a special HPV test (called BD Onclarity™) can find anal cancer or precancer. It is for people at high risk or with known anal abnormalities, and aims to improve early detection.
This study looks at using a simple swab to screen for HPV (the virus that can cause anal cancer) in people living with HIV. By collecting a sample from the anal area, the study aims to find a less invasive way to check for risk, helping you avoid more uncomfortable procedures unless needed.
This study is looking at better ways to screen for anal cancer and its early warning signs in women living with HIV. Early detection could help prevent cancer from developing, so joining may help you get closer check-ups.
