Turcot syndrome

Turcot syndrome is an intermediate form of two other colon cancer syndromes called Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome (FAP). Both of those syndromes give a person a high chance of developing colorectal cancer, and increase the chances of having a brain tumor. Another similar condition is Gardner syndrome, which give a person a higher chance of having soft tissue tumors and polyps (growths) in the intestines.
