Abstract:
Hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes are among the best in vivo models to study colorectal carcinogenesis and the influence of putative modifiers of the cancer risk. The present knowledge regarding the wide range of colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibilities and the histological and molecular changes they elicit is leading to a very dynamic and integrated concept of tumorigenesis in the colon and to new views about prevention and early treatment of cancer.
