Abstract: Hereditary non-polyposis colo-rectal cancer is an autosomal dominant disease and is described by markedly higher risk for colon and endometrial cancers. This disorder is characterised by loss of mismatch repair protein expression and DNA microsatellite instability. Clinical criteria (Amsterdam II) have served in identifying hereditary non-polyposis colo-rectal cancer families. To facilitate determination of colo-rectal tumours requiring molecular analysis, certain clinical criteria have been developed (Bethesda Guidelines). The recommendations for screening are for yearly/biennial colonoscopy and annual trans-vaginal ultrasound and endometrial sampling as early as 20 to 35 years of age. The management of this disorder, given the increased risk of developing endometrial and ovarian cancer, bilateral salpingoophorectomy and prophylactic hysterectomy should be presented to and discussed with HNPCC patients and also options for such patients’ management include completion colectomy and ileo-rectal anastomosis, monitoring or chemo-prevention, in case of colo-rectal cancer.
