Randall W. Burt, MD, Medical Director
The Familial Colon Cancer Registry was initiated in
April of 1998 to enroll individuals from families at
increased risk of developing colon cancer and those who
have or are at-risk of developing a known hereditary
polyp syndrome, including:
- Familial adenomatous polyposis [FAP]
- Attenuated adenomatous polyposis coli [AAPC]
- Juvenile polyposis, hyperplastic polyposis
- Hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome
The Registry has
two primary functions: to create a research resource from
which investigators can draw potential study
participants, and to serve as an educational resource for
participants, their physicians and other health care
providers.
The Registry is a
member of the international Leeds-Castle Polyposis Group
and the Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited
Colorectal Cancer.
