title: Hereditary colorectal-cancer (review).
abstract: Knowledge of the genetics of colon cancer has already started to have an impact on prevention, early detection and control strategies for large bowel malignancy. This report reviews the genetics of colorectal cancer, both the epidemiological and molecular aspects. It includes a description of the syndromes of inherited colorectal cancer and a discussion of recent molecular genetic work about tumor suppressor genes.
