pubmed:abstractText |
The syndrome of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) can be diagnosed fairly accurately using clinical criteria and a family history. Identifying HNPCC helps to prevent large-bowel cancer, or allows cancer to be treated at an early stage. Once the syndrome has been diagnosed a family member's risk can be judged approximately from a family tree, or it can now be predicted accurately if the causative mutation is known.
