A member asked:
What are my chances of getting anus cancer, as a non-anal-sex type of person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low: Anal cancer is uncommon. It is associated with hpv infection. Colon cancer is far more common and when you turn 50 you should get a screening colonoscopy, sooner if there is family history of early colon cancer.
