Cost-effectiveness of microsatellite instability screening as a method for detecting hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND The National Cancer Institute has published consensus guidelines for universal screening for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) in patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer. OBJECTIVE To determine the cost-effectiveness of screening compared with standard care in eligible patients with colorectal cancer and their siblings and children. DESIGN Cost-effectivene...
متن کاملMicrosatellite marker analysis in screening for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC).
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germ-line mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes. It is relevant to identify HNPCC patients because colonoscopic screening of individuals with HNPCC mutations reduces cancer morbidity and mortality. Microsatellite instability (MSI) is characteristic of HNPCC tumors. A panel of fiv...
متن کاملRevised Bethesda Guidelines for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome) and microsatellite instability.
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), also known as Lynch syndrome, is a common autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by early age at onset, neoplastic lesions, and microsatellite instability (MSI). Because cancers with MSI account for approximately 15% of all colorectal cancers and because of the need for a better understanding of the clinical and histologic manifestations of ...

متن کاملMicrosatellite instability, immunohistochemistry, and additional PMS2 staining in suspected hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
PURPOSE Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and microsatellite instability (MSI) analysis can be used to identify patients with a possible DNA mismatch repair defect [hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC)]. The Bethesda criteria have been proposed to select families for determination of MSI. The aims of this study were to assess the yield of MSI analysis in families suspected for HNPCC, t...
