## Abstract ## BACKGROUND A small proportion of patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC) have synchronous tumors at the time of diagnosis. A subset of sporadic CRCs display microsatellite instability (MSI) that is associated with __MLH1__ silencing due to promoter methylation. In the current study
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) represents a human model of the adenomasarcinoma sequence. Colectomy substantially reduces the cancer risk. Restorative proctocolectomy maintains continence and abolishes the risk of rectal cancer, but there is a price to pay in terms of an increased morbidity ra
Chain-terminating germline APC mutations are responsible for adenomatous polyposis coli (APC). In the present work, we tested the hypothesis that germline APC mutations may be present in some patients with a milder phenotype, i.e., multiple synchronous colorectal adenomas. Eighteen patients with 3 o
