Daily Aspirin Prevents Colorectal Cancer in Lynch Syndrome ...
Daily aspirin may prevent the incidence of cancer in individuals who are genetically predisposed to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), also known as Lynch Syndrome, according to the results of a study presented September 21, 2009 at Europe’s largest cancer congress, ECCO 15-ESMO 34, in Berlin. [1]
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is a genetic syndrome caused by mutation in one of several genes. HNPCC accounts for about 3-5% of all colorectal cancer. These mutations greatly increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer. In fact, individuals who carry the mutation have an 80% lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer. In individuals with an HNPCC mutation, the average age at diagnosis of colorectal cancer is 44 years compared with 64 years in the general population. In addition, other cancers are more common in families that carry this mutation, including cancers of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus), ovary, small intestine, ureter, and renal pelvis.
