Multidisciplinary approach for gene mutation and aortic aneurysm

Posted by bra35486 @bra35486, 1 day ago

I have a gene mutation of the POLE gene. I’m a 43 yo male, 5’10 160 lbs, visiting for cardiology. Have a 4.34 thoracic ascending aorta and also have increased risk for colon cancer with POLE. Had 19 precancerous polyps last year removed. The Have 15 more this year just removed. Wondering, if I would be better off to have Mayo be the lead on both, rather than just cardiology since they are experts in so much.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Aortic Aneurysms Support Group.

It would be worth a consult at Mayo at the very least.
