Predictive model for hereditary colorectal cancer

摘要

"We see the model being useful for both prospective patient surgical management at the time of diagnosis, and also for retrospective assessment of risk in helping clinical genetics departments decide who should have a gene test when there is an affected person inthefamily" explains Dunlop.Although studies have suggested that the prognosis of colorectal cancer for patients with Lynch syndrome is better than for those with sporadic cases, Dunlop and co-workers did not find a significant difference between groups.
