Alike other malignancies, common risk factors in the development of appendix cancer are a combination of environmental and genetic factors.

Overview

Common risk factors in the development of appendix cancer are a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Common risk factors in the development of appendix cancer include age, sex, smoking, familial cancer disorders such as MEN1 Syndrome and HNPCC, as well as long standing chronic inflammatory disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Risk Factors

Common Risk Factors

  • Common risk factors in the development of appendix cancers include:
    • Smoking : Smoking is a pretty well known risk factor for developing colorectal malignancies. An association was demonstrated between cigarette smoking and MSI-high, CIMP-positive, and BRAF mutation positive colorectal cancer subtypes.[1]
    • Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome: An increased prevalance of carcinoid tumores has been reported in the patients with Wermer syndrome.[2]
    • Age: Adenocarcinoma peak age is around 60s while carcinoid tumors are prevalent in 40s. [3][4]

Less Common Risk Factors

  • Less common risk factors in the development of appendix cancers include:
    • Chronic inflammatory disease specially ulcerative colitis.[5]
    • Sex[4]
      • There is a male dominant pattern of prevalence in adenocarcinoma of appendix.
      • Although it is still controversial, most of the published studies demonstrated that females are more commonly affected by appendiceal carcinoids than men. [6]
