Abstract
Accurate staging is essential in anal cancer to guide therapy and prognostication. While MRI remains the modality of choice for local staging, its limitations in assessing nodal and distant metastases have prompted evaluation of FDG PET/CT as an adjunct. The American College of Radiology recommends FDG‐PET/CT as a complementary modality for initial staging, particularly for nodal assessment.
