Overview

There is no medical treatment for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. However, hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer patients should consider diet optimization and pharmacological prevention.

Medical Therapy

Patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer should consider the following options of medical management:

Diet Optimization

Patients with high risk of colorectal cancer should consider a low fat diet with limitations concerning red meat.^[1]^[2]
Dietary approaches should consider the inclusion of high fiber and rich in cellulose foods.

Pharmacological Prevention

Drugs lowering the risk of colorectal cancer include:^[3]^[4]^[5]

The real value of these drugs in cancer prevention in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer cannot be excluded, but is not proven.
