About this listen
Anal cancer rates are rising worldwide, but particularly among gay and bisexual men and people living with HIV, where incidence is significantly higher.
We’re joined by Dr. Matthew Marino, a general and colorectal surgeon who offers high-resolution anoscopy screening in Melbourne.
He breaks down what anal cancer is, its causes and symptoms, and why certain communities face disproportionate risk.
We explore why screening options remain limited across Australia despite growing evidence and international guidelines supporting broader access.
