Farrah Fawcett Lost In Fight With Anal Cancer

Targeted Victims of Anal Cancer

Those in the ages between 50 and 80 years old are common to be diagnosed with anal cancer. Men in their 50s are more likely to have anal cancer, but after age 50 it is slightly more common in women.

Some tumors that develop in the anus are benign, but eventually develop into cancer over time. There are several risk factors associated to anal cancer:

* People over 50 years old
* Having several sexual partners
* Having open anal intercourse
* Having a weakened immune system
* Frequent anal redness and soreness
* Smokers

There are claims that a particular vaccine may prevent anal cancers; however this has not been proven yet.
