    Sammanfattning : Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency is carcinogenic and can either have somatic/sporadic causes (i.e. epigenetic silencing or somatic inactivation) or hereditary causes (Lynch syndrome due to a germline mutation in one of the MMR genes ¬- MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2). LÄS MER

  3. 7. Clinical aspects of Lynch syndrome

    Författare :Jenny von Salomé; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in women and the third most common cancer in men worldwide, with 1.8 million new cases and almost 861000 deaths in 2018. Approximately 5–10% of the annual CRC burden can be attributed to inherited high risk germline mutations. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer is one of our most common malignancies and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. About 1/3 of the tumors are located in the rectum. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Hereditary predisposition and prognostic prediction in cancer

    Författare :Karin Wallander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer is a genetic disease. The cancer cells evolve clonally through changes of their genome, gaining malignant characteristics. In hereditary cancer syndromes, a genetic aberration which puts the cells one step closer to being malignant is inherited and present throughout whole body. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Mismatch repair deficiency in colorectal cancer : prognosis and prediction for basic treatment strategies

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a significant healthcare problem worldwide, being the third most common cancer and the fourth most frequent cause of cancer death. Environmental and dietary factors such as alcohol abuse, cigarette smoking, and genetic predisposition seem to constitute the main aetiologies. LÄS MER
