Review of the Lynch syndrome: history, molecular genetics, screening, differential diagnosis, and medicolegal ramifications

TL;DR: Because 40–60% of female patients will manifest endometrial cancer, tailored management is essential, and subtotal colectomy may be necessary, given the marked frequency of synchronous and metachronous CRC.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: PEG‐IFN alfa‐2b plus weight‐based RBV is more effective than flat‐dose RBV, particularly in genotype 1 patients, providing equivalent efficacy across all weight groups, and RBV 1400 mg/day is appropriate for patients 105 to 125 kg.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer - Lynch syndromes I and II

TL;DR: Increased knowledge about colorectal cancer etiology and carcinogenesis can be attained through the study of families prone to the Lynch syndromes, and biomarkers of acceptable sensitivity and specificity for the genotype are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A colon cancer‐prone syndrome characterized by fewer adenomas (1–100), most located in the proximal colon, and upper gastrointestinal lesions, particularly fundic gland polyps and duodenalAdenomas is described.
