The purpose of cancer screening is to find cancers before they cause symptoms.

Screening is only used for certain types of cancer where there is a proven benefit from a safe and accurate test that can be used in a large number of people who do not have any symptoms. 

There is currently no routine test available to screen for anal cancer.

People with a high risk of developing anal cancer may benefit from regular review by their GP.
