A significant family history of colorectal cancer may be related to a hereditary syndrome, such as Lynch syndrome, or a familial susceptibility. Hereditary colorectal cancer is associated with a germline pathogenic variant in a hereditary cancer gene and accounts for 5% to 10% of all colorectal cancers.
