Hereditary Colorectal Cancer in China
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this article is to review basic research as well as clinical studies on Chinese hereditary colorectal cancer. Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, Lynch syndrome) accounts for 2.2% of all colorectal cancer, and Chinese criteria for suspected HNPCC have been developed. Germline mutations as well as large genomic rearrangements of mismatch repair (MMR) genes are responsible for this syndrome. Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer in Chinese HNPCC patients. Contrary to sporadic colorectal cancer in the Chinese population, HNPCC does not typically present with rectal cancer. Incidence of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) in China is approximately 1.5/100,000. Polyps in Chinese FAP patients can emerge as early as 16 months old, but malignant transformation usually occurs in the third and fourth decade. Total resection of the colon and rectum is necessary in FAP patients. For unresectable duodenal polyps, chemopreventive agents may be used.

سه موتاسیون ژرم لاین جدید در ژن MLH1 در بیماران مبتلا به سرطان کولورکتال ارثی
Abstract Background: Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer is the most common cause of early onset of hereditary colorectal cancer. In the majority of Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer families, microsatellite instability and germline mutation in one of the DNA mismatch repair genes in clouding MSH2, MLH1, MSH6 and PMS2 are found. The Objective of this study was to determine th...
متن کاملHereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch Syndrome: Surveillance and Diagnostic strategies
Introduction: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, Lynch syndrome) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. The disease is caused by a mutation in one of four genes of the DNA mismatch repair system and increases the risk for various cancers, especially the uterine and colon cancers. The prevalence of this disease in the general population is about 1 in 500 and it causes about 2-3...

Objective(s): Ten-eleven translocation (TET) family members have been shown to be involved in the development of many tumors. However, the biological role of the TET family and its mechanism of action in colorectal carcinogenesis and progression remain poorly understood. Materials and Methods:We measured the expression levels of TET family members in colorectal cancer (CRC) specimens, in the c...

Objective(s): The study aimed to investigate the effects of resveratrol on colorectal cancer HCT116 cells, including cell viability, apoptosis, and migration, and the partial mechanisms focused on hedgehog/gli-1 signaling pathways. Materials and Methods: We chose the appropriate time and concentration of recombinant human Sonic hedgehog (Shh) stimulation by cell viability. The proportion of cel...
