Brief Summary:
To determine the prevalence of colorectal neoplasms in first degree relatives of those affected with sporadic colorectal cancer using colonoscopy as a screening tool The prevalence will be compared to that of a defined matched cohort
Detailed Description:
Colorectal cancer is a second commonest tumor in Hong Kong and the second commonest cause of cancer related death About 1 in 23 males will develop colorectal cancer in his life time The disease tends to cluster in families This may be a combination of factors including shared genes shared environment or chance Known familial syndromes occur in only about 5 of cases The majority is not well understood and labelled sporadic colorectal cancer The screening strategy in families of subjects with colorectal cancer has not been defined Colonoscopy is among the most sensitive and specific screening tool for colorectal neoplasm The current study determines the prevalence of adenomas among first degree relatives of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer To quantify risk in this cohort a case control analysis is used The prevalence of the cohort is compared to that of a control population The control group consists of relatives of patients with normal colonoscopic findings during the same study period
