Popis: The scheme of accumulation of genetic alterations in a long-term case of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) was reconstructed by the retrospective analysis of postoperative tissue materials. This unique case re- sulted from a primary lesion in MLH1 gene and revealed two genetic pathways of carcinogenesis in tumors separated by lifetime and localization.
