Abstract
Anal cancer, while rare, is increasing in incidence. Recent studies and trials indicate that effective screening with treatment of precancerous anal dysplastic lesions can decrease the risk of anal cancer in high-risk patient populations. Therefore, it is important that anal cancer screening is made accessible. To this end, as has been done in other specialties, advanced practice practitioners (APPs) can help fill this need. This paper will discuss how a well-established APP managed anal dysplasia clinic, has been successful and remained viable for many years. We will discuss clinic functions, key points, and tips that can help an APP clinic run efficiently and successfully, as well as measures that have helped us with patient satisfaction and continuity.
期刊介绍：
Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery is a review journal that publishes topic-specific issues on diseases of the small bowel, colon, rectum, and anus.
Designed for clinicians, researchers, and educators involved with diseases of the intestinal tract, the journal covers a broad spectrum of basic information, controversial clinical issues, and established and innovative diagnostic techniques.
Issue topics comprehensively cover the entire specialty over a 3-4 year period, allowing the articles to serve as study material for educational programs and certifying examinations. The inclusion of research and clinical material also allows physicians to remain knowledgeable of current advances in the specialty.
