Excerpt

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC) is the most common colorectal cancer susceptibility syndrome, with a lifetime risk of colon cancer of 80% [1]. Affected individuals are at risk for extracolonic malignancies as well. These include (in descending order) endometrial, ovarian, gastric, and transition cell carcinoma of the uroepithelial tract. Other more rare HNPCC-associated extracolonic tumors include pancreas, hepatobiliary, brain, skin, and possibly small bowel. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
