Welcome to the relaunch of our website! Our group consists of European professionals dedicated to the subject of hereditary predisposition to cancer - with a main focus on hereditary colorectal cancer. The group evolved from the former ICG-HNPCC (International Collaborative Group on Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer) As such many of the participants have known each other and collaborated successfully (and informally) over a long period of time.
After the foundation of InSiGHT (International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumors) as a merge between the Leeds Castle Polyposis Group and the previously mentioned ICG-HNPCC this relatively small European Group has continued to meet for informal highly-efficient scientific meetings on a yearly basis. Out of these meetings and collaborations several important publications, specifically regarding clinical aspects of the hereditary colorectal predispositions have evolved. |
