The International Anal Neoplasia Society (IANS) is the world’s first professional society that dedicates itself to preventing and treating anal cancer.

Along with the HPV and Anal Cancer Foundation, we created IANS in 2012 as part of our mission to find a cure. 

At IANS’ Scientific Meeting held in November in Amsterdam, scientists and researchers from all over the world gathered to share most innovative anal cancer strategies. 

This year, world-renowned Professor Andrew Renehan from the UK was selected to present the Farrah Fawcett Keynote Address on anal cancer treatment. Renehan discussed the importance of prevention, as well as the treatment options for anal cancer.
