Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years. 2. Patients must have stage T1-4N+M0 or T3/T4N0M0 locally advanced anal cancer as evidenced by a PET scan AND either a CT with contrast of the abdomen/pelvis or an MRI with contrast of the pelvis.

Creatinine Clearance must be \> 30 ml/min. 6. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any prior pelvic radiation. 2. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to capecitabine. 3.
