How would you approach a small mucinous adenocarcinoma of the anal verge (without anal canal involvement) with positive margins after resection?
Further surgery is not possible.

If resection is not feasible to get negative margins without an APR then I would favor treating with concurrent chemo (xeloda) with RT to a dose in mods 50s to area of positive margin.

Agree with concurrent (xeloda-based) chemoradiation 50-54Gy and close observation subsequently.
