Abstract

Hereditary colorectal cancer (hCRC) represents a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. In addition to the usual diagnostic methods, the family history, histological confirmation and mutation analysis play an important role in identifying the type of hereditary CRC. The diagnosis and classification of hCRC are carried out based on the anamnesis, clinical presentation and histology and the further treatment is determined depending on the underlying type of hCRC. For familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) coloproctomucosectomy after the end of puberty is always recommended, whereas the treatment recommendations for other forms, such as attenuated FAP (aFAP), MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) and hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC, Lynch syndrome), range from close surveillance and endoscopic control, through segmental resection up to colectomy. Irrespective of the type of hCRC, the treatment regimens necessitate an individualized approach and require close interdisciplinary cooperation. When colorectal resection is performed, minimally invasive procedures should principally be prioritized and some studies could demonstrate a potential benefit of robotic surgery compared to laparoscopy.
