Abstract excerpt
Hereditary colorectal cancer (HCRC), arising from pathogenic germline variants, accounts for 5-10% of all CRCs. The widespread clinical adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and multigene panel testing (MGPT) has fundamentally transformed the diagnostic paradigm for this genetic predisposition. This review summarizes the latest epidemiological data on genetic predisposition to CRC and examines the...
