The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of using Nimotuzumab and radiation in the treatment of squamous cell carcinomas of the anal canal in order to achieve a 65% local control rate with a better toxicity profile than the conventional treatment. Patients with high toxicity risks (HIV+ and fragile patients) will be selected for this study.
