الوصف: Colorectal cancer (CRC) develops through a multi-step process characterized by the acquisition of multiple somatic mutations in oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes, epigenetic alterations and genomic instability. These events lead to the progression from precancerous lesions to advanced carcinomas. This process requires several years in a sporadic setting, while occurring at an early age and or faster in patients affected by hereditary CRC-predisposing syndromes. Since advanced CRC is largely untreatable or unresponsive to standard or targeted therapies, the endoscopic treatment of colonic lesions remains the most efficient CRC-preventive strategy. In this review, we discuss recent studies that have assessed the genetic alterations in early colorectal lesions in both hereditary and sporadic settings. Establishing the genetic profile of early colorectal lesions is a critical goal in the development of risk-based preventive strategies.
