Two Cases of Bladder Cancer with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer [PDF]
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by an excess of extracolonic malignancies including those of the urinary tract. We report two cases of bladder tumor associated with HNPCC.

A cost-effective algorithm for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer detection.
Colorectal cancer with microsatellite instability (MSI) may occur sporadically or be inherited in cases of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. However, there is no consensus as to which patients must be tested and how to test MSI.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF CARCINOGENESIS OF COLON ADENOCARCINOMA
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies and the leading cause of cancer-related death. There are 4 basic colon carcinogenic steps: malignant transformation of adenoma into carcinoma; HNPCC (hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer); cancer ...

N‐terminus of hMLH1 confers interaction of hMutLα and hMutLβ with hMutSα
Mismatch repair is a highly conserved system that ensures replication fidelity by repairing mispairs after DNA synthesis. In humans, the two protein heterodimers hMutSα (hMSH2‐hMSH6) and hMutLα (hMLH1‐hPMS2) constitute the centre of the repair reaction ...

Numbers of mutations to different types of colorectal cancer
Background The numbers of oncogenic mutations required for transformation are uncertain but may be inferred from how cancer frequencies increase with aging. Cancers requiring more mutations will tend to appear later in life.
