Core Tip

Core Tip: Hereditary colorectal cancer, although contributes to only a small number of cases compared to sporadic cases, is significant due to its potential of carriage and also due to complexity in its management, considering possible involvement of cancers of other organs. We aim to look at the available evidence-based guidelines across the globe and attempt to summarize them together for readers to apply with simplicity.
