Overview
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer may be classified according to MSI-H into 3 subtypes: right-sided poorly differentiated cancers, right-sided mucinous cancers, and adenocarcinomas in any location showing any measurable level of intraepithelial lymphocyte (TIL). In addition, HNPCC can be divided into Lynch syndrome I (familial colon cancer) and Lynch syndrome II (HNPCC associated with other cancers of the gastrointestinal tract or reproductive system).[1]
Classification
Lynch syndrome may be classified into 2 subtypes: Type I and Type 2[2]
Lynch syndrome I (familial colon cancer)
- Site-specific colonic cancer
Lynch syndrome II
- Extracolonic cancer
- Includes extracolonic cancer, particularly carcinoma of the stomach, endometrium
- Associated condition, Muir-Torre syndrome
- The most common of which is endometrial carcinoma
Variants
Muir–Torre syndrome[3]
- Is a rare hereditary, autosomal dominant cancer syndrome
- Considered a subtype of HNPCC
- Individuals are prone to develop cancers of the colon, breast, and genitourinary tract, and skin lesions, such as keratoacanthomas and sebaceous tumors
- Genes affected are MLH1, MSH2, and more recently, MSH6, and are involved in DNA mismatch repair
Turcot syndrome[4]
- Is a very rare hereditary autosomal recessive syndrome
- Considered a subtype of HNPCC
- Individuals are prone to develop intestinal polyposis
- Related to CNS tumors: most commonly glioblastoma or medulloblastoma
- Two-thirds of patients have mutations in the APC gene
