1 Hereditary GI tumor syndromes ACG guidelines of genetic testing and management Dr. med. Henrik Csaba Horváth PhD

2 Genetic testing and management of hereditary GI tumor syndromes June 29,

3 Clinical relevance of hereditary GI tumor syndromes 1. Increased life-time risk for malignancy (synchronous/ metachronous syndrome-specific tumors) 2. Extragastrointestinal manifestations 3. Specific guidelines (diagnosis, screening, surveillance) 4. Genetic abnormalities (testing of index patients and family members) 5. Identify those at significantly increased risk and offer options to prevent and diagnose earlier cancer in these individuals Genetic testing and management of hereditary GI tumor syndromes June 29,

4 Major entities of hereditary GI tumor syndromes 1. Lynch syndrome 2. Polyposis syndromes Adenomatous 1. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) 2. Attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP) 3. MUTYH-associated adenomatous polyposis (MAP) 4. Colonic adenomatous polyposis syndrome of unknown etiology (CPUE) Hamartomatous 1. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) 2. Juvenile polyposis (JP) 3. Cowden syndrome (CS, PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome) Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) Mixed polyposis syndromes (HMPS) 3. Hereditary pancreatic cancer 4. Hereditary gastric cancer Genetic testing and management of hereditary GI tumor syndromes June 29,
