RESUMEN
El cáncer colorrectal es la neoplasia más frecuente en ambos sexos en España. Entre el 20-25% de los casos presentan historia familiar de dicho tumor y un 5-6% se presentan en el contexto de una mutación germinal, es decir, en el contexto de un síndrome hereditario. La importancia de identificar a los pacientes con síndromes hereditarios que predisponen a cáncer colorrectal radica en la posibilidad de poder aplicar medidas preventivas, de cribado y un manejo más adecuado tanto para ellos como para sus familiares. A continuación se detallan los estudios más relevantes sobre el cáncer colorrectal hereditario que fueron presentados este año en el congreso de la American Gastroenterological Association
ABSTRACT
Colorectal cancer is the most frequent malignancy in both sexes in Spain. Between 20% and 25% of affected individuals have a family history of the disease, and 5% to 6% have a germ mutation, i.e. the disease develops in the context of a hereditary syndrome. The importance of identifying patients with hereditary syndromes predisposing them to colorectal cancer lies in the possibility of applying preventive measures, screening, and more appropriate management of both patients and their families. The present article outlines the most important studies presented at the congress of the American Gastroenterological Association
