Overview
The prevalence of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is approximately 2-7% of all diagnosed cases of colorectal cancer.[1] Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer commonly affects young adult population. The median age of diagnosis is between 40 to 45 years.[1] Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer affects males and females equally. Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer usually affects individuals of the white race more commonly. Ethnically-diverse individuals are less likely to develop MMR mutations related with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.[2]</nowiki>
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Incidence of HNPCC is not well known but it is estimated that 0.5 to 13 percent of cases of colorectal cancer are due to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
Prevalence
- The prevalence of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is approximately 2-7% of all diagnosed cases of colorectal cancer.[1]
Age
- Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer commonly affects young adult population.
- The average age of diagnosis is often less than 45 years old.[1]
Gender
- Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer affects males and females equally.
- In some particular genetic mutations such as MLH1 males have significantly higher risk than females at all ages.[1]
Race
- Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer usually affects individuals of the white race more commonly.
- Ethnically-diverse individuals are less likely to develop MMR mutations related with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
