RT Journal Article T1 Surgical management of hereditary colorectal cancer: surgery based on molecular analysis and family history A1 Perea García, José A1 Marín Gabriel, José Carlos A1 Díaz Tasende, José Benjamín A1 Hidalgo, M. AB The importance of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing. A proportion show a hereditary component, as in Lynch syndrome and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, and a recently defined entity as well, namely, Familial Colorectal Cancer type X. The high probability to develop CRC in these groups may, at the time of recognition, change surgical management, including its timing or even the surgical technique. In some cases prophylactic surgery can play an important role. The possibility of using tools that allow recognition of the aforementioned syndromes, including microsatellite instability, immunohistochemistry for DNA mismatch repair system proteins, and especially their mutations, is on the basis of therapeutic strategies that differ from those employed in sporadic CRC cases PB Sociedad Española de Patología Digestiva SN 1130-0108 YR 2009 FD 2009 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/130719 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/130719 LA eng NO Perea J, Justo I, Alvaro E, Lomas M, Tasende JD, Marín JC, Franco A, Colina F, Rodríguez Y, Martínez J, Robles L, Urioste M, Hidalgo M.
