Long-term oncological outcomes after salvage surgery for anal squamous cell carcinoma – a national cohort study
This population-based study shows that long-term survival after salvage surgery is achievable when R0-resection is obtained. Importantly, major postoperative complications were identified as a novel prognostic factor in ASCC. Optimizing R0-resection rates and minimizing complications are key to improving long-term outcomes.
