High-risk Gastrointestinal Cancer Clinic

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: High-Risk Colorectal Cancer Clinics were established within Gastroenterology to prevent colorectal cancer in the high-risk population. Over time, these clinics have expanded their scope and evolved into High-Risk Gastrointestinal Cancer Clinics, which now address individuals at high risk for various digestive neoplasms beyond just colorectal cancer. Gastroenterologists with expertise in genetics coordinate the programs; however, a multidisciplinary team is essential to ensure comprehensive care for high-risk patients. It is important to note that these clinics differ from standard Digestive System consultations. The focus is on the family instead of the individual, and the primary objective is prevention at the family level, rather than treatment for individual patients.
