Understanding of the neoplastic events involved in heritable colorectal cancer syndromes is increasing at the molecular and clinical levels. This knowledge is foundational to cancer chemoprevention, which attempts to inhibit or reverse the tumorigenic process through pharmacologic interventions appl

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
A s of 1999, it is possible to test selected subjects for carriage of germline mutations in genes responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), 1,2 hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), 3,4 Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, 5 and juvenile polyposis. 6,7 These diseases are heterogeneous ph
To identify characteristics of gastric cancer associated with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), we gathered clinical data and tumor samples relating to patients recorded in the Finnish HNPCC registry. Our series included 51 families with a characterized mutation and/or that met the
