proctocolectomy

Curative and prophylactic surgery of young-onset colorectal cancer in inherited syndromes. a 15-year monocentric retrospective experience

BACKGROUND/AIM:
Although genoproteomic and clinicopathological knowledge on Lynch syndrome (LS) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) has notably increased during the past two decades and even though surgery represents the mainstay of treatment for both conditions, as of 2019, the surgical choice in terms of timing and procedure still appears controversial in the absence of definitive guidelines.
