Conventional surgery in the treatment of solid tumors suggests a recently declining trend. Endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques are increasingly replacing traditional surgery as both rates of early detection and minimal invasive treatment are steadily increasing. Premalignant lesions and early-stage small cancers confined to the mucosal layer along the whole gastrointestinal tract, from esophagus and stomach to the colorectum, can now curatively be resected by minimally invasive techniques substantially improving the quality of life of many patients. In contrast, traditional surgical resection of specific organs for the protection of individuals at very high risk of developing inherited cancer in the breast, colon, and stomach is increasingly receiving considerable attention. However, although surgery is the only preventive intervention able to eliminate the risk of cancer at a specific organ, surgical prophylaxis has been controversial, for a numerous amount of reasons and questions have been raised. Here we discuss the benefits and obstacles of prophylactic surgery. Hereditary cancer syndromes are rare. They account for less than 5% of all cases because most breast, colon, or gastric adenocarcinomas occur sporadically. These syndromes include hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, Cowden syndrome, and some kindreds affected with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis. 1 Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have been identified, 8 years
