Each dividing cell of the body has information stored in the genetic material regarding growth and speed of division. When this stored information is either deleted or altered due to genetic mutation, the cells have no control over division (i.e., uncontrolled division), leading to cancer. When this phenomenon occurs in the anal canal cells, the condition is known as anal cancer. The anal canal is the last section of the digestive system that expels stools from the body. Human papillomavirus infection is the most common cause of anal cancer. Another condition, anal dysplasia, is a precancerous condition that progresses to cause anal cancer.
