Background And Aim: Human papilloma virus-associated anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) precedes most anal cancers and can be detected at colonoscopy. We aimed to quantify AIN detection rates in a general population undergoing colonoscopy.
Methods: A retrospective review of a community-based practice for 2 years until December 2019 was conducted.
Results: A total of 2525 patients (1051 males and 1474 females; median age 59 years) had 2608 colonoscopies. Ten patients (two males and eight females; median age 57.5 years) had incidentally detected AIN (condyloma acuminatum or AIN1, = 4; AIN2 or 3, = 6). AIN was detected in 1 of 261 (95% CI 1/142-1/480) colonoscopies and 1 of 163 (95% CI 1/83-1/321) colonoscopies in women over 40 years old.
Conclusions: Opportunistically detecting AIN, especially in women over 40 years old, should be an important adjunct to colonoscopy-based colorectal neoplasia detection.

Electrocautery ablation therapy for anal intraepithelial carcinoma with high-resolution anoscopy.

Objective: This study investigated the efficacy and safety of electrocautery ablation for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) in men who have sex with men (MSM) including people with human immunodeficiency virus, using comprehensive biopsy with high-resolution anoscopy (HRA).
Methods: This single-arm, open-label pilot study included 20 MSM with HSIL who were treated with electrocautery ablation. The participants were recruited from the National Center for Global Health and Medicine and followed up using HRA with a comprehensive biopsy approach at 3- and 6-months post-ablation.
Real-time diagnosis of a lesion of the anal canal observed by endocytoscopy.

Anal canal cancer (ACC) is a rare yet noteworthy malignancy that is strongly associated with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs). This case report highlights the diagnostic utility of endocytoscopy (EC) in distinguishing high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) from low-grade lesions (LSILs) in a 57-year-old male presenting with hematochezia. Traditional magnifying endoscopy was inconclusive; however, EC provided detailed visualization of cellular and vascular changes, facilitating a diagnosis of HPV-associated HSIL or carcinoma in situ.

Background/aim: Perianal Paget's disease (PPD) is an intraepithelial invasion of the perianal skin that is frequently associated with anorectal carcinoma. Rectal canal carcinoma with Pagetoid spread (PS) is a relatively rare disease, and few reports on its outcomes are available. The relatively rare nature of this disease makes the development of treatment recommendations difficult.

Background: Anal squamous intraepithelial lesions are identifiable and treatable precancerous lesions that lack defined risk factors determining screening necessity.
Objective: Assess the prevalence and risk factors associated with low- and high-grade anal squamous intraepithelial lesions and anal squamous cell carcinoma.
Design: Retrospective cohort analysis of veterans with HIV between 1999-2023.

Introduction: High-resolution anoscopy (HRA) to prevent anal cancer is complex and screening capacity is limited. Previously, we showed that DNA methylation analysis of anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) biopsies can distinguish between HSIL with an increased cancer risk, and HSIL with a low cancer risk, in which treatment may be safely withheld. Here, we assessed the performance of methylation analysis in anal swabs to identify patients with underlying HSIL with an increased cancer risk.
