CRC:
Epidemiology:
• The second most common cause of cancer & cancer-related mortality in men &women.
• The cumulative lifetime risk is 1 /19 in men & 1 / 20 in women. • 50% are diagnosed with stage III & IV cancer, with 5-year survival
rates 65% &10%, respectively. • The incidence has steadily declined over the past 30 years.
Epidemiology:
• Decline due to the use of colorectal cancer screening.• CRC Screening: • Every adult 50&> with average risk • Earlier for those with hereditary CRC syndromes.• CR Carcinogenesis is through 2 pathways:• 1. Adenoma-carcinoma 85%.• 2. Serrated polyposis pathway 15%.
Epidemiology:
Risk factors:
• Modifiable Factors:• High dietary fat or red meat• Low dietary fiber• Smoking• Excess alcohol ingestion• T2DM• Low Physical Exercise.
Risk factors:
• A personal history of adenomatous polyps or colorectal cancer increases the risk for metachronous colorectal cancer in the same person.
• Non-syndromic Family History:• Individuals with a first-degree relative have *2-3 increased risk • The risk is increased with a greater number of relatives affected &
an earlier age of cancer onset (< 60 years).
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Have the highest risk of colorectal cancer in the patients & family members.
• Diagnosis Requires an:• Accurate & comprehensive family history• Aages & causes of death of relatives in three generations• Any diagnosis of CRC or any cancer• Age of onset• Birth defects&other inherited conditions.
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Lynch syndrome: Hereditary (Nonpolyposis) Colon Cancer (HNPCC) • The Amsterdam II criteria :• Three or more relatives with HNPCC-related cancers (CRC or
endometrium, small intestine, ureter, or renal pelvis)• One relative a first-degree relative of the other two.• At least two successive generations affected• One cancer diagnosed before age 50 years• Familial adenomatous polyposis excluded• Tumors verified histologically
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Lynch syndrome: • Colon cancer occurs in up to 80% of individuals with Lynch
syndrome, usually at a mean age of 44 years. • The CRC is often right-sided with particular pathologic
features(tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, a Crohn-like lymphocytic reaction& mucin or signet cell histology).
• Associated with an increased risk for extracolonic tumors (endometrial [40%-60%], much less commonly ovarian, urothelial, gastric, brain, small bowel, hepatobiliary tract, pancreatic &sebaceous cysts.
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• FAP:• Caused by a mutation of APC gene• Results in the development of hundreds to thousands of CR
adenomas often in the second decade of life. • Without treatment, CRC typically develops in all patients by the age
of 40 years. • Gastric fundic gland polyposis & duodenal adenomas are also
present in most patients. • Gastric cancer is rare, but duodenal & periampullary cancers are the
second leading cause of cancer death in this group (2.5-30%). • Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid is increasingly recognized.
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Attenuated FAP (AFAP): milder form • Fewer colorectal polyps, generally <100, later age of onset &lower
cumulative lifetime risk. • The colorectal polyps are often right-sided.
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Gardner syndrome :• A phenotypic variant of FAP characterized by colonic polyposis,
benign soft tissue tumors (including sebaceous cysts& lipomas), osteomas, supernumerary teeth, desmoid tumors& congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Turcot syndrome:• Another variant of FAP ,polyposis with brain tumors, including
cerebellar medulloblastoma, astrocytoma& ependymoma.
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS):• A mutation in threonine kinase (STK11) gene.• Diffuse intestinal hamartomatous polyps (often cause small-bowel
obstruction by 20 years) & mucocutaneous pigmentation most obvious on the lips.
• Diagnostic criteria: two or more of the following: • Two or more small-bowel hamartomas, mucocutaneous
pigmentation, or a family history of PJS. • There is a 90% cumulative lifetime risk for intestinal &
extraintestinal cancer: breast; colon; pancreas; gastric; ovary; lung; small intestine; uterus & cervix; unusual gonadal neoplasms of the ovary&testes.
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS):• Develop numerous hamartomatous or juvenile polyps, in the colon. • Germline mutations detected in 50% , BMPR1A or SMAD4 gene. • Most develop symptoms by the age of 20 years.
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• The clinical criteria for this syndrome consist of :• 1. more than three juvenile polyps of the colon• 2. juvenile polyps throughout the GIT. Or• 3. One or more juvenile polyps combined with a family history of
juvenile polyposis syndrome. • Juvenile polyposis syndrome usually presents with GIB, diarrhea,
gastric outlet obstruction, or protein-losing enteropathy from massive gastric polyposis.
• There is an increased risk for CRC(39%), GC(25%)& more rarely small-bowel &pancreatic cancer.
Risk factors:Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Solitary juvenile polyps are one of the most commonly found colorectal polyps, particularly in children <10 years
• No future health risk once the polyp is removed &follow-up surveillance colonoscopy is not required.
Risk factors: Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Serrated polyposis syndrome:• Familial polyposis syndrome with multiple, large, proximal
hyperplastic polyps or serrated adenomas without a genetic cause.
Risk factors: Hereditary CRC Syndromes
• Serrated polyposis syndrome: WHO criteria• (1) 5 or more serrated polyps proximal to the sigmoid colon, two or
more of which are 10 mm in diameter or greater• (2) Any number of serrated polyps proximal to the sigmoid colon in
an individual with a 1st-degree relative who has serrated polyposis syndrome
• or (3) >20 serrated polyps throughout the colon. • Associated with an increased risk of CRC but not Extra Intestinal
cancer. • The mean age of CRC diagnosis is 56 years&metachronous CRC
occurs in 7% at 5 years of follow-up. Surveillance is recommended.
Chemoprevention:
• Not indicated for patients at average risk for colorectal neoplasia, • Not routinely recommended for patients at high or very high risk for
colorectal neoplasia.
Diagnosis:
• The diagnosis of CR neoplasia is most often made by colonoscopy performed for gastrointestinal symptoms, screening, or surveillance.
Staging:
• If diagnosed, staging provides a uniform description of the depth of tumor invasion into the colon wall, other structures, lymph nodes & distant organs.
• There are two types of staging for colorectal cancer: • A clinical stage & pathologic stage.
Staging:
• Clinical staging by:• Physical exam• Colonoscopic biopsy• Pretreatment CT chest, abdomen& pelvis• If an indeterminate liver mass is detected, MRI of the abdomen
with & without gadolinium- contrast enhancement is suggested.• MRI of the pelvis is recommended for patients with rectal cancer.
Staging:
• Pathologic staging after the tumor is removed , by:• The tumor type / differentiation• Depth of invasion• Lymph node involvement• Distant metastasis• Margin status• Perineural/angiolymphatic invasion• ,Many other clinically validated factors.
Staging:
Management:
• EMR or ESD for very early detected cancers.• Surgery is the mainstay if early detected.• Paliative stenting or surgery for obstruction.
