A FAMILY HISTORY OF POLYPS IN PATIENTS WITH COLORECTAL SERRATED POLYPS AUGMENTS THE RISK OF COLON CANCER IN JORDAN

Colorectal cancer stands as the most prevalent form of cancer globally.Among its variants, advanced adenomas, a subtype of colorectal polyps, present an escalated risk of -degree relatives. Consequently, current professional guidelines advocate for earlier and more comprehensive screening for First-Degree Relatives Consequently, current professional guidelines advocate for earlier and more comprehensive of individuals with advanced adenomas, akin to those with colorectal cancer. However, there persists a lack of understanding regarding the familial risk associated with polyps, especially advanced serrated polyps, thereby creating a significant gap in screening strategies for these high-risk individuals. Aims: This research seeks to delve into the intricate relationship between colorectal cancer and serrated polyps, while also examining the predictive role of family history in patients with adenomatous polyps. Material and methods: Samples and data were meticulously collected from 61 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Utilizing SPSS, data analysis conducted with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Colorectal scale serving as the primary assessment tool. Results: The regression analysis findings suggest that family history does not serve as a reliable predictor of colorectal polyps. Conversely, colorectal cancer emerges as a significant predictor of colorectal polyps. Furthermore, t-test analysis reveals notable associations between individual differences and colorectal polyps. Conclusion: A comprehensive understanding of relationship between colorectal cancer and serrated polyps, alongside predictive role of family history, holds paramount importance in enhancing screening efforts for high-risk groups, by bolstering screening strategies.
