Abstract

The identification of hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes allows the prevention of colorectal and related extracolonic cancers and the possibility of genetic counseling to family members. The management of these syndromes requires a multidisciplinary approach, including counseling and genetic testing, screening recommendations, prevention options, and treatment strategies. Gene-specific risk estimations are leading to adapt surveillance recommendations for some Lynch and polyposis patients. New techniques such as chromoendoscopy are being incorporated to screening procedures in order to increase adenoma detection. This chapter reviews the surveillance guidelines of the most common hereditary colorectal syndromes, the types of recommendation, and the quality of evidence for each one.
