Department of Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chang Gung University College of Medicine at Linko, Taiwan.
Purpose: To compare survival and histologic features of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; Lynch syndrome) cases to well-matched sporadic colon cancers from the same patient population.
Experimental Design: Between January 1995 and March 2002, a total of 5,138 consecutive patients underwent resection of primary colorectal adenocarcinoma in a single institution. According to the Amsterdam criteria, 56 HNPCC patients were matched to 147 sporadic colorectal cancer (SCRC) with no family history of cancer and with the same gender, tumor location, and age within 3 years.
