Allelotype of Colorectal Carcinomas

Science, 1989
To examine the extent and variation of allelic loss in a common adult tumor, polymorphic DNA markers were studied from every nonacrocentric autosomal arm in 56 paired colorectal carcinoma and adjacent normal colonic mucosa specimens. This analysis was termed an allelotype, in analogy with a karyotype.

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1997
The literature on chemoprevention for colorectal carcinoma can be summarized as follows: (1) Aspirin and NSAIDs usage can decrease polyp formation and promote polyp regression and have a strong epidemiologic link to colorectal cancer prevention. (2) Fiber intake is strongly associated with a decreased incidence of colorectal carcinoma.

Multiple colorectal carcinomas and colorectal carcinoma associated with extracolonic malignancies

Surgery Today, 1992
In this study, we analyzed 149 surgical cases of colorectal cancer between January 1983 and August 1989. Thirteen cases (8.7 percent) of colorectal primary cancer associated with extracolonic primary malignancy of 14 lesions and 10 cases (6.7 percent) of multiple primary colorectal cancers were included.

Colorectal carcinoma and folate.

Annali italiani di chirurgia, 2013
More than a million people a year worldwide develops colorectal cancer (CRC), with a mortality rate close to 33%. Most of the CRC cases are sporadic, only 25% of the patients have a family history of the disease, and major genes causing syndromes predisposing to CRC only account for 5-6% of the total cases. The following subtypes can be recognized: MIN
