Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), or Lynch syndrome, is the most common form of hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC). A well-orchestrated cancer family history is essential for its diagnosis since, unlike its familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) hereditary cancer counterpart, HNPCC la

The clinical manifestations of 1,042 Japanese patients with nonpolyposis colorectal cancer who underwent a resection between 1972 and 1992 at the National Kyushu Cancer Center were examined. Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) was found in 39 (3.7%) patients. Some characteristic findin
In hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), the majority of reported mutations are dispersed throughout the 35 exons of the two principal susceptibility genes, MLH1 and MSH2, and because of this complexity, rapid mutation screening methods are required. The aim of this study was to evaluat
Lynch syndrome, or hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC), is an autosomaldominant disease accounting for approximately 1 5 % of all colorectal cancer cases. Due to the lack of pathognomonic morphological or biomolecular markers, HNPCC has traditionally posed unique problems to clinicians and
