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

## Abstract We report the cytogenetic study of 9 colorectal tumors arising in patients with hereditary nonβpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). According to the cytogenetic classification of colorectal tumors previously proposed by us, 2 cases were of the trisomic type, 2 were of the monosomic type
Previous survival studies suggested a better prognosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) patients compared with the sporadic counterpart. In the present study we evaluated the clinical outcome of HNPCC patients with respect to that of patients with colorectal cancer recorded in a
The genetics of Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) has recently been established and found to be associated with DNA mismatch repair deficiency. As the molecular basis of this syndrome does not appear to predict any particular disease, we compared families selected according to the '
Identification of hereditary non-polyporis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) indicates theoretical life-time risks of 50% for the descendants of an affected family member and of 100% for the true gene carriers. However, besides colorectal cancer (CRC), many other cancer types and sites are also involved, wh
