Synchronous occult cancers of the endometrium and fallopian tube in an MSH2 mutation carrier at time of prophylactic surgery.

Gynecologic oncology - 1 Dec 2008

Palma Laura, Marcus Victoria, Gilbert Lucy, Chong George, Foulkes William D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Women with Lynch syndrome have a 40 to 60% lifetime risk of endometrial cancer and a 10 to 12% lifetime risk of ovarian cancer and may consider prophylactic gynecological surgery as an option for risk reduction.
