NCCN Colorectal, Endometrial, and Gastric Cancer Guidelines Update

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) released the new Genetic Familial High-Risk Assessment Colorectal, Endometrial, and Gastric Cancer guidelines on August 8th, 2024.

Updates include ⤸
• Endometrial cancer recommendations included throughout
• Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer section added (HGAST-1)
• Gynecologic risk and preventive surgery considerations for those with Lynch Syndrome
• Use of hormone replacement treatment following premature surgical menopause from risk-reducing oophorectomy
CHEK2 estimated absolute colon cancer risk revised to “NO INCREASED RISK”; thus, general population screening is appropriate for these individuals
