Table 4.

Calculated cumulative incidence from current age to 70 years, for any subsequent cancer or for colorectal cancer as a subsequent cancer at 70 years by patient's current age and genetic variant, and comparison with corresponding incidences previously reported in patients who had not had cancer before inclusion

†Cumulative incidence in this report divided by cumulative incidence in patients with LS without previous cancer.3

‡None of the cumulative incidences compared besides this one were significantly different (p<0.05).
