About this clinic

The Anal Dysplasia Clinic screens, diagnoses, and provides ongoing care for people at high risk of anal cancer from Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

We focus on the diagnosis, treatment and continual screening of anal cancers and pre-cancers. This includes the treatment of pre-cancerous lesions; however, we do not treat benign (harmless) HPV growths like warts.

Advances in treatments are all thanks to medical research. While participating in research is a decision you should make for yourself in consultation with your care team, there is much activity in this area so please ask us about our research programs if you’re interested.

By taking part in research, you can help us all learn more about advancing health outcomes and find better ways to help people live and thrive. While you cannot assume benefit to yourself, your participation can make a difference in improving care for future patients.

The following clinical trials are currently enrolling volunteers. Please ask your care team for more information or contact the research team listed on each study or trial. For other information about research at Providence Health Care, please visit Providence Research.

We will do our best to see patients in a timely way, but for non-urgent referrals, the current wait time may be up to two years. We will prioritize urgent referrals and see urgent patient within an appropriate timeframe.

Have an urgent referral? Providers, please communicate directly with our clinic to schedule referred patients appropriately. And please include all relevant background information such as:

• Imaging
• Pathology
• Consult notes
