Today, gender care is fluid, but in 2012, in the early days of ANCHOR, it took the NY Times and a brave Boston gynecologist to shift the direction of focus of anal cancer prevention.
On the other coast, a self-described radical feminist was told that “the anus is just like the cervix,” and a historical career began.
In this podcast, Drs. Beth Stier and Naomi Jay discuss how they collaborated to build consensus from a large group with diverse expertise to create the first Consensus Guidelines for Anal Cancer Screening (2024). This project is changing the course of anal cancer screening.
Looking toward the future, the next big step will involve an Implementation task force.
“No one is willing to wait another seventeen years for the changes to occur.” The speakers’ challenge, “Get involved. There’s so much work to be done.”
