Management of genetically determined colorectal cancer

S K Clark. Surgeon. 2019 Jun.

Abstract

Surgeons are increasingly treating patients for colorectal cancer who are known to have a genetic predisposition to develop the disease; this may modify the surgical and oncological management of the patient. In this review the approach to the patient with colorectal cancer on a background of Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis is explored.

Keywords: Colorectal cancer; Familial adenomatous polyposis; Lynch syndrome.
