Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer/Lynch syndrome in three dimensions.

ANZ journal of surgery - 1 Dec 2017

Kravochuck Sara E, Church James M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is defined by family history, and Lynch syndrome (LS) is defined genetically. However, universal tumour testing is now increasingly used to screen for patients with defective mismatch repair. This mixing of the results of family history, tumour testing and germline testing produces multiple permutations and combinations that can foster confusion. We...
