Knowledge about hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer; mutation carriers and physicians at equal levels

BMC Medical Genetics, 2009
Background Identification and adequate management of individuals at risk for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is crucial since surveillance programmes reduce morbidity and mortality.

Distinct dysregulated pathways in sporadic and Lynch syndrome‐associated colorectal cancer offer insights for targeted treatment

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 7, Page 1006-1028, April 2025.
This study explores the distinct molecular mechanisms underlying Lynch syndrome‐associated and sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC). By highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting the PI3K‐Akt pathway in Lynch syndrome‐associated CRC and the Wnt pathway in sporadic CRC, the findings open avenues for personalised treatment strategies, aiming to ...

DNA content analysis of colorectal cancer defines a distinct ‘microsatellite and chromosome stable’ group but does not predict response to radiotherapy [PDF]

, 2014
Colorectal cancers (CRC) are thought to have genetic instability in the form of either microsatellite instability (MSI) or chromosomal instability (CIN).

Microsatellite Instability in the Tumor Microenvironment: The Role of Inflammation and the Microbiome

Cancer Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 8, April 2025.
The microbiome, an environmental factor, can contribute to DNA damage and affect mutation accumulation. Infections with genotoxin‐producing pathobionts can induce inflammation and oxidative stress through reactive nitrogen and oxygen species, which may influence MSI.

Narrative review comparing the epidemiology, characteristics, and survival in sporadic colorectal carcinoma/Lynch syndrome

Journal of Coloproctology, 2020
Introduction: Colorectal carcinoma is the third most prevalent neoplasm in the world, and the second cause of death by cancer. The most part of these neoplasms are sporadic by somatic mutations, but around 15% are hereditary, such as Lynch syndrome or ...

Evaluation of MT1XT20 single quasi-monomorphic mononucleotide marker for characterizing microsatellite instability in persian lynch syndrome patients [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Colorectal malignancies with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H), either hereditary (Lynch syndrome) or sporadic, demonstrate better prognosis and altered response to 5FU chemotherapy.

An American founder mutation in MLH1 [PDF]

, 2012
Mutations in the mismatch repair genes cause Lynch syndrome (LS), conferring high risk of colorectal, endometrial and some other cancers. After the same splice site mutation in the MLH1 gene (c.589‐2A>G) had been observed in four ostensibly unrelated ...

Identification of Diagnostic Biomarkers for Colorectal Polyps Based on Noninvasive Urinary Metabolite Screening and Construction of a Nomogram

Cancer Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 7, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Purpose/Backgrounds Colorectal polyps (CRPs) are precursors to colorectal cancer (CRC), and early detection is crucial for prevention. Traditional diagnostic methods are invasive, prompting a need for noninvasive biomarkers. This study aimed to identify urinary metabolite biomarkers for diagnosing CRPs and construct a diagnostic nomogram based

Detección de mutaciones de los genes hMLH1 y hMSH2 del sistema de reparación de malos apareamientos del ADN en familias colombianas sospechosas de cancer colorrectal no polipósico hereditario (síndrome de Lynch).

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2005
Introducción. El cáncer colorrectal es la segunda causa de morbilidad y mortalidad por cáncer en los países desarrollados. En Colombia es la quinta causa de muerte entre los diferentes cánceres.
