Colon rectal cancers
  • Risk factors
  • (I) Sporadic (70)
  • - Age Risk increases significantly b/w ages of
    40 and 50, in each succeeding decade
    thereafter1.
  • - Lifetime incidence is about 5.
  • 1Eddy, DM et al. Ann Intern Med 1990.

    fold increased risk )1
  • - Alcohol
  • - Diabetes mellitus
  • - Cigarette smoking.
  • 1Ekbom,A et al. NEJM 1990.

19
Colon rectal cancers
  • (II) Risk factors, inherited (5-10)
  • (a) Germ line mutations.
  • (1) Polyposis syndromes
  • - Familial adenomatous polyposis.

Colon rectal cancers
  • (II) Risk factors, inherited (5-10)
  • (a) Germ line mutations.
  • (2) Non Polyposis syndromes
  • - Hereditary nonpolyposis CRC.
  • - Autosomal dominant.
  • - More common than FAP1.
  • 1Lynch, HT et al. Gastroenterology 1993.

22
Colon rectal cancers
  • (III) Risk factors, familial (20-25)

    is different from inherited one.
  • - Having an affected 10 relative increases the
    risk 1.7 fold.
  • - Genetic abnormalities
  • ? Mutated APC gene, ? loss of DNA, ?mismatch
    repair genes.

Colon rectal cancers
  • CASE 1
  • 63 yr old asymptomatic man with no family h/o
    colorectal ca, presented for first annual
    physical exam, by family MD.
  • Physical exams including rectal exam was normal.
    Fecal occult blood testing was negative.
  • What should be further recommendations for
    colorectal cancer screening in future?

27
Colon rectal cancers
  • Screening
  • Canadian Association of Gastroenterology
    Canadian Digestive Foundation. Guidelines on
    Colon Ca Screening. 2004.
  • - Begin screening at age 40 if
  • One 10 relative gt60 yrs has CRC or AP, or gt
    one 20 relative has CRC or AP.
  • Otherwise begin screening at age 50.
  • www.cag-acg.org/www.screencolons.ca

28
Colon rectal cancers
  • Choices of screening methods include1
  • - FOB atleast every 2 years.
  • - Flex sig (w/wo FOB) every 5 yrs.
  • - Double contrast BE every 5 yrs.
  • - Colonoscopy every 10 yrs.
  • Screening method should be determined by its
    availability after discussion b/w pt
    physician
  • 1Leddin et al. Can J Gastroenterol 2004.

29
Colon rectal cancers
  • CRC Screening Practices opinions of primary
    care physicians1.
  • lt 42 of physicians were familiar with
    guidelines.
  • Only 35.6 of physicians offered screening to at
    least 75 of their average risk pts.
  • 1McGregor et al. Preventive Medicine 2004.

  • Conclusions
  • Colorectal ca is the second common cause of ca
    deaths in males and third common cause of ca
    deaths in females.
  • Risk increases significantly b/w ages of 40 and
    50, in each succeeding decade thereafter.

69
Colon rectal cancers
  • Conclusions
  • 3.Adjuvant 5 FU containing chemotherapy is the
    standard of care for resected node positive
    (stage III) colon cancer.
  • 4. For rectal cancer chemo should be combined
    with XRT in adjuvant setting.

  • Conclusions
  • 5. Treatment of metastatic colon and rectal
    cancer provides good palliation with some
