        Hereditary Colorectal Cancer

        Hereditary cancer syndromes are encountered in all medical specialties. Although they account for about 5% of all malignancies, it is of special importance to identify these patients because, unlike patients with sporadic cancers, they require special, long-term care as their predisposition can cause them to develop certain tumors at a relatively early age.
        The Igenomix Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Precision Panel provides a comprehensive analysis of the most common hereditary Colorectal Cancer syndromes using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to fully understand the spectrum of relevant colorectal cancer predisposition genes.

        Overview

        • Hereditary cancer syndromes are encountered in all medical specialties. Although they account for about 5% of all malignancies, it is of special importance to identify these patients because, unlike patients with sporadic cancers, they require special, long-term care as their predisposition can cause them to develop certain tumors at a relatively early age. These cancers can arise in the lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas, skin, eyes, heart. Most hereditary cancers are associated with a “germline mutation” that will be present in every cell of the human body. Identification of patients at risk of inherited cancer susceptibility is dependent upon the ability to characterize genes and alterations associated with increased cancer risk as well as gathering a detailed personal and family history aiding in the identification of the mode of inheritance as well as other family members at risk of suffering from this susceptibility. Most hereditary cancer syndromes follow an autosomal dominant inheritance, and the penetrance is high.  
        • The Igenomix Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Precision Panel provides a comprehensive analysis of the most common hereditary Colorectal Cancer syndromes using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to fully understand the spectrum of relevant colorectal cancer predisposition genes.  

        Indication

        The Igenomix Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Panel is indicated as a screening and diagnostic test in those cases where there is: 

        • Family history of colorectal cancer (CRC) or suspected hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer or HNPCC). 
        • Family or personal history of Lynch syndrome or Lynch-like syndrome. 
        • History of multiple colorectal adenomas. 
        • Asymptomatic patient who wishes to know genetic risk for CRC. 
        • A personal history of getting radiation to the abdomen or pelvic area to treat prior cancer. 
        • Personal history of inflammatory bowel disease (Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s disease). 

        Clinical Utility

        The clinical utility of this panel is:  
         
        • The genetic and molecular diagnosis for an accurate clinical diagnosis of a patient with personal or family history suggestive of a hereditary cancer syndrome.  
        • Early initiation of treatment with a multidisciplinary team for appropriate total body screening, early surgical intervention, or pharmacologic treatment.  
        • Risk assessment of asymptomatic family members according to the mode of inheritance  
        • Reduce the incidence of advanced adenomas at colonoscopy. 
        • Prevention of CRC. 
        • Reduce morbidity related to CRC, or morbidity secondary to complications of surveillance and treatment. 
        • Improved identification of hereditary CRC syndromes. 
        • Improved pathways from diagnosis to treatment in susceptible populations.
