“Colon Cancer That Runs in Families” (Familial Adenomatous Polyposis), APC Gene, Symptoms, Treatment

“Colon Cancer That Runs in Families” (Familial Adenomatous Polyposis), APC Gene, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis is an autosomal dominant inherited condition involving significantly increased risk of colorectal or colon cancer. Familial Adenomatous Polyposis can lead to colon cancer very early on in life, roughly by the age of 40 in most individuals. Familial Adenomatous Polyposis is caused by a mutation in the APC gene, which itself is involved in a biochemical pathway known as the Wnt-B catenin signaling pathway. Familial Adenomatous Polyposis often has no symptoms until the onset of colorectal cancer. In this lesson, we discuss the pathophysiology behind with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis occurs, how it is diagnosed and how it is treated.

I got it from my mom and we are the only ones in the family. I don’t have kids yet but a geneticist said they can scan my future children in the womb. I’ve had so many surgeries.

[@kathypatton3991]

Thank you for sharing. My mom had colorectal cancer. I've had some polyps removed but a week ago they removed 12 polyps and I also have a strickter in the first turn of my colon. I had colonoscopies every 5 years. I should have had them more often. I'm seeing a new Dr now, waiting on results. Great info. Please let me know if there's more information I need to know. Ty very much. Also I'm 65 years old. My mom passed from the cancer at age 68.

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

MUST BE AWARE
PLEASE KINDLY CONTINUE POSTING YOUR MUCH APPRECIATED VIDEOS

[@RichRich1955]

I had polyps last 3 colonoscopies 5yr apart. I'm not even sure if my parents had colonoscopies but didn't have colon cancer. I wonder if the polyps I had would never be problematic.

[@user-te6qc9kw6v]

thank u so much this was very clear and helpful

[@dr.zainab7948]

Where do I find the lecture file? I need the answer quickly, please.

My father who is still alive and now 84 had this.
They found it when he was 74 years old. They did the surgery and they almost killed him because of a septic infection and he ended up with a colostomy bag.
How is it possible he was 74 years old full of polyps with no symptoms and healthy has a bull? The doctor said he would develop colon cancer if not removed ...really ?? And exactly when would he have developed cancer ? At 100?
How about we just say that we really don't know what causes cancer ?
If you can't fix something that means you don't know nothing about it.
He probably had this conditions for decades and none of them turned into cancer.
Go figure.
It can be inherited by a parent or it can develop spontaneously ....this is what they tell you. Make up your mind , Wich one is it ?
Mark my words, in 100 years from now they are going to look back at the way we handled cancer and laugh.

[@appleidea2762]

thank you so much

[@steved2699]

They found over 40 polyps in my colon at 39 years old. Keep the colon or remove it?
