Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Care in Los Angeles
Expert screening, prevention, and surgery for hereditary colorectal cancer from Dr. Yosef Nasseri — protecting you and your whole family.
Protecting Families From Inherited Cancer Risk
Some colorectal cancers run in families due to inherited gene changes, such as Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis. Recognizing hereditary colorectal cancer risk early is one of the most powerful ways to prevent cancer entirely.
Dr. Nasseri builds a personalized surveillance and prevention plan around your specific risk, coordinates genetic testing, and, when appropriate, performs risk-reducing surgery. Because these syndromes affect whole families, we make it easy for relatives to be evaluated too.

Common Hereditary Syndromes
Different inherited syndromes carry different risks and call for different surveillance and prevention strategies.
Lynch Syndrome
The most common inherited colorectal cancer syndrome, requiring frequent colonoscopy starting at a young age.
FAP
Familial adenomatous polyposis causes hundreds of polyps and often calls for risk-reducing surgery.
Strong Family History
Even without a named syndrome, multiple affected relatives warrant earlier and more frequent screening.
Understanding Your Risk
Warning signs of an inherited risk include colorectal cancer diagnosed at a young age, multiple relatives with colon or related cancers, a personal history of many polyps, or a known family mutation. Genetic counseling and testing can define your risk precisely.
A positive result is not a diagnosis; it is a roadmap. For some patients, intensified surveillance is enough, while others benefit from removing the at-risk colon before cancer can develop. Dr. Nasseri tailors the plan to your genetics, and modern robotic techniques make preventive surgery gentler and faster to recover from.

Hereditary Colorectal Cancer FAQs
Should my family members be tested too?
Often, yes. Because these syndromes are inherited, first-degree relatives may share the risk. We make it easy to coordinate testing and screening for your whole family.
Does a positive genetic test mean I will get cancer?
No. It means your risk is higher, which is exactly why surveillance and prevention are so effective. Many patients never develop cancer thanks to a proactive plan.
When should I see a specialist about hereditary colorectal cancer?
You should be evaluated if you have a new diagnosis, persistent symptoms, or a significant family history. Early, expert evaluation of hereditary colorectal cancer leads to more options and better outcomes. Call (424) 655-3312 to be seen this week.
