Starting new topic because existing threads are well over ten years old, and I know this still exists because it is what I have. It is treated like a anal cancer but located in rectum so not the same. My current issue is follow-up care. Diagnosed June 2024, Negro protocol started September 2024, completed treatment October 15. CT/PET scans were good. Then I switched insurance- so far this year they denied Anoscopy because this is not indicated for rectal cancers. Now they are not pre-authorizing Colonoscopy because this is not indicated for anal cancer (their denial of appeal actually stated anoscopy (which they already denied) would be adequate).
