Risks of Colorectal and Other Cancers After Endometrial Cancer for Women With Lynch Syndrome

Year: 2020
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder caused by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Previous studies have shown that MMR gene mutation carriers are at increased risk of colorectal, endometrial, and several other cancers following an initial diagnosis of colorectal cancer. We estimated cancer risks following an endometrial cancer diagnosis for women carrying MMR gene mutations.
