Abstract:
Inherited colorectal cancer syndromes account for 6-10% of all cases. The diagnosis of the polypoid forms is easier due to their phenotypes, compared to the non-polypoid cases. The evaluation of the MSI/MMR status of the already developed colorectal cancer cases could help in the recognition and screening of the latter forms. This screening method is much more sensitive than that solely based on family anamnestic data. The MSI/MMR status of the tumor also could help in adjuvant or palliative treatment planning, therefore it is recommended in all colorectal cancer cases. Here we review the available information regarding the inherited colorectal cancer syndromes, and the role of MSI/MMR status in the management of colorectal cancers.

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
