Hereditary gastrointestinal cancer

Abstract: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, including gastric and colorectal cancer, is a major cause of death worldwide. A substantial proportion of patients with GI cancer have a familial history, and several causative genes have been identified. Gene carriers with these hereditary GI syndromes often harbor several kinds of cancer at an early age, and genetic testing and specific surveillance may save their lives through early detection. Gastroenterologists and GI surgeons should be familiar with these syndromes, even tho… Show more

“…In the present case, the patient did not meet the Amsterdam II Criteria or the Revised Bethesda Guidelines. Other major hereditary gastrointestinal cancer syndromes are familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (29). FAP is an autosomal dominant disease that is classically characterized by the development of hundreds to thousands of adenomas in the rectum and colon during the second decade of life (30).…”

“…This patient had seven carcinomas in the gastrointestinal tract—with lesions in the esophagus, stomach, and colorectum—and a tumor in the prostate gland and external ear canal. The major relevant hereditary gastrointestinal cancer syndromes are familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Lynch syndrome, hereditary diffuse gastric cancer, and Li-Fraumeni syndrome [ 12 ].…”

“…In general, episodes of pouchitis are more associated with colectomy due to UC, than to neoplastic or familial polyposic syndromes. In these latter cases, the incidence of pouchitis ranges from 0% to 11%, which is lower than in colectomies secondary to UC, and could be explained by the immune-mediated etiology of UC (7)(8)(9) .…”
