%X High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) of the anal region are recognized as precursor lesions to squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA), especially in individuals infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Although recent studies indicate that treating HSIL can reduce progression to SCCA, optimal management strategies remain undefined. High recurrence rates and treatment-associated morbidities underscore the need for effective therapeutic options.A survey among radiation oncologists in Germany was conducted between September and October 2024, covering clinical practice settings, the frequency of HSIL cases, experience with radiotherapy, reasons for radiotherapy inquiries, treatment indications, and concurrent therapies.A total of 58 radiation oncologists participated in the survey, with 37 (63.8
