11 de Vos tot Nederveen, Cappel WH, Nagengast FM, Griffoen G Dis Colon Rectum 2002 Dec;45(12): The 10-year cumulative risk of developing colorectal cancer was 10.5 (95 percent confidence interval, ) percent in proven mutation carriers, 15.7 (95 percent confidence interval, ) percent after partial colectomy (n=110), and 3.4 percent after subtotal colectomy (n=29). 11

20 Rectal cancer Two small studies reported that the risk of metachronous cancer after proctectomy in Lynch syndrome patients was 15 and 18% respectively. [17, 20] In 33 patients reported from Cleveland Clinic, at a median follow up of months, the incidence of high-risk adenomas or metachronous cancers after proctectomy was 51%. [20] In the report by Lee et al, 3 of 18 patients developed metachronous colon cancers at a median of 203 months post proctectomy. [17] In another report from Germany and the Mayo Clinic 6 of 11 patients developed metachronous colon cancers at a median of 88 months after proctectomy. [21] 20

22 What about extended colorectal surgery? Generally prefered worldwide (but not in Germany) No prospective randomized studies Mathematical models demonstrate survival benefit in young patients Increase in bowel movements with IRA and ileoanal Pouch Less invasive screening Difference between IRA and ISA? What about QOL? When are patients identified? 22

23 Significance of knowing MSI- status preoperatively (!) Option of risk reduction via extended primary colorectal surgery Also focus preoperatively on : endometrium, adnexes 23

24 Screening Recommendations Yearly surveillance Physical examination (dermatology?) Colonoscopy beginning age 25 Gyn examination beginning age 20 Endometrial biopsy! Abdominal sonography starting age 25 Gastroduodenoscopy starting age 35 24

25 Detection of MMR deficiency MLH1/PMS2 MSH2 MSH6 Sequence QMPSF/MLPA Splicing Assay 25

26 Henry Lynch 1977 Should a direct-line relative of a kindred manifesting the Cancer Family Syndrome develop carcinoma of the colon, we believe that it would be advisable to proceed with a total colectomy rather than hemicolectomy because of the enormous genetic risk of additional primary cancers occuring in any segment of the colon not removed.

34 Important wrap-up issues Probably extended surgery is better for colon cancer IRA versus ISA Probably prophylactic hysterectomy at the time of a colon cancer is reasonable Age-depending probably prophylactic salpingooophorectomy is beneficial Maybe in selected young patients with rectal cancer proctocolectomy and ilaoanal pouch is an option Education and awareness is a real issue! Aspirin might change the whole story 34
