Génétique et cancers digestifs: Rapport présenté au 125e Congrès Français de Chirurgie 2023 (Monographies de l’Association Française de Chirurgie (AFC)) (French Edition) (Original Publisher)

A Groundbreaking Look at the Genetic Foundations of Digestive Oncology
Published as part of the esteemed Monographies de l’Association Française de Chirurgie, Génétique et Cancers Digestifs is the official report of the 125th French Congress of Surgery (2023). This comprehensive first edition addresses the crucial intersection between genetics and gastrointestinal cancers, equipping surgeons, oncologists, gastroenterologists, and genetic counselors with the latest insights on diagnosis, risk stratification, and surgical management of hereditary and genetically predisposed cancers.

As genomic profiling and personalized medicine become increasingly central to digestive cancer care, this volume provides practical, evidence-based strategies to integrate genetic knowledge into surgical decision-making. From Lynch syndrome to polyposis syndromes and emerging molecular classifications, this resource empowers clinicians to anticipate risk, adapt treatment, and improve outcomes.

Key Features and Highlights:

• Comprehensive overview of genetic syndromes associated with colorectal and other digestive cancers
• Guidance on surgical indications, timing, and techniques for hereditary cancer patients
• Integration of molecular diagnostics into preoperative planning and follow-up
• Case studies, consensus recommendations, and ethical considerations in genetic screening
• Written in French, with content ideal for French-speaking healthcare professionals and trainees

Chapters and Topics Covered:
Includes core chapters on:

• Hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes (e.g., Lynch syndrome, FAP)
• Genetic risk assessment and family screening
• Impact of molecular profiling on surgical approaches
• Ethical and legal implications of genetic testing in oncology
• Emerging biomarkers and future directions in precision oncology

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1: Is this book focused only on colorectal cancer genetics?
A1: While colorectal cancer is a major focus, the book also addresses genetic factors in other digestive cancers, offering a broad overview of hereditary and molecular implications across the GI tract.

Q2: Can this resource be used for patient counseling or only by surgeons?
A2: This book is primarily written for healthcare professionals, but its clear explanations of genetic syndromes and screening strategies make it highly useful for clinicians involved in patient counseling and family risk assessment.
