Successful Management of Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Liver and Ovary Metastases: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimChemoradiation is the recommended initial treatment for locally advanced squamous anal cancer. However, there is still no consensus on the course of treatment for anal canal cancer with distant metastasis, and the significance of surgical resection of distant metastases is also unclear. CASE REPORT: A 48-year-old woman presented to the referral hospital complaining of prolonged bleeding for the past 6 months. On examination, a mass was identified in the anal canal and the upper part of the rectum that was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. Liver, ovarian, and right internal iliac lymph node metastases were found on further examination, and the patient was referred to our department for treatment. Systemic chemotherapy was planned, and six courses of modified FOLFOX6 were administered. After chemotherapy, the liver and right internal iliac lymph node metastases tended to shrink, and no new lesions appeared. Therefore, a total posterior pelvic resection and a bilateral lymph node dissection were performed for the primary tumour and ovarian metastases, and a simultaneous laparoscopic right partial hepatectomy was undertaken for the liver metastases. R0 resection was achieved, and the final diagnosis was T3N3M1a(H) stage IV. The patient remains alive 2 years after the surgery without recurrence.
conclusionWe report a rare case of anal canal cancer with distant metastases who achieved R0 resection after modified FOLFOX6 chemotherapy.
