Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of Pediatric Colorectal Cancer.

Department of Oncology, Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Jiangsu, China.
Background: Compared to colorectal cancer (CRC) in adults, CRC in children is extremely rare. Although its incidence has increased recently, there is a lack of clinical research on the disease. Inherited cancer susceptibility syndromes (ICSS), a group of disorders in which patients are predisposed to susceptibility to a wide range of tumors as a result of pathogenic mutations in genes in their germ line, are an important cause of CRC in children.

Summary: Short stature is a common complaint among pediatric visits and the differential diagnosis is extensive. Although some variations in growth are normal, deviation from normal growth is often the first symptom of chronic disease in children. This is true for hormone abnormalities including growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism and glucocorticoid excess.

Lynch syndrome is a genetic condition predisposing to cancer, particularly colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer, due to germline mutations in MisMatch Repair genes. More rarely, Lynch syndrome is the result of a constitutional promoter methylation. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the role of this epigenetic mechanism in the Lynch syndrome.

Department of Internal Medicine III, University Hospital Ulm, Ulm, Germany.
Background: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an autosomal dominant tumor predisposition syndrome characterized by a high familial incidence of various malignancies. It results from pathogenic/likely pathogenic heterozygous constitutional variants of the TP53 gene. Due to impaired DNA damage repair, conventional cytotoxic therapies or radiotherapy should be avoided whenever feasible to mitigate the high incidence of treatment-related secondary malignancies in these patients.
