Benefits of colonoscopic surveillance and prophylactic colectomy in patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer mutations.

Annals of internal medicine - 15 Nov 1998

Syngal S, Weeks J C, Schrag D, Garber J E, Kuntz K M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Predisposition genetic testing is now possible for many hereditary cancer syndromes, including hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. The optimal management of the elevated risk for cancer in carriers of mutations for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To assess the life expectancy and quality-adjusted life expectancy benefits derived from endoscopic surveillance and...
