Question

Three ways of using genetic knowledge to help cancer patients Risk assessments and pedigree Genetic test for detecting FAP patients Ethical issues in sharing genetic testing information Using genetically engineered mice to find treatments for FAP What are the genes involved in risk assessment, early detection and treatment of colon cancer? What kind of mutation occurs in FAP? Describe the ethical issues involved in genetic testing. Name the drugs used for the treatment of colon cancer and what Is their mechanism of action? Can risk assessment be used for both familial and non familial cases of cancer? What are the tests used for early detection of non familial colon cancer? Is cancer age dependent? Give reasons What are the body's defenses against cancer? Can cancer be detected before they are metastatic? What parts of the body tend to develop metastatic cancer?

Explanation / Answer

1). Familial Adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a tumor suppressor gene, mutations of which may lead to the development of colon cancer. Mutations for FAP gene are considered in the risk assessment, early detection and treatment of colon cancer.
