Study checks how often Lynch syndrome happens in colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This registry study looks at how many people with colon cancer also have Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition that can affect cancer risk. If you enroll, your care team collects basic information from your diagnosis to better estimate how common it is.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign a written consent form to join the study
- You are 18 years or older
- You have colon cancer confirmed under the microscope, or you have two cancers happening at the same time (synchronous tumors)
- You are not currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation for colon cancer at the time of screening
- You haven’t had treatment yet for the second tumor (if you have synchronous tumors)
- If you had cancer treatment before, it must be at least 12 months ago (and your team feels you can follow study steps)

This study checks tumor tissue from colorectal cancer surgery for signs of Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that increases cancer risk. If found, you can get genetic counseling to help you and your family.
This study collects blood and stool samples to see how well they can detect colorectal cancer or advanced growths in people with Lynch syndrome (an inherited colon cancer risk) or suspected Lynch syndrome. It may help find cancer or precancer earlier, which can improve next-step decisions.
This study follows adults with Lynch syndrome (an inherited gene change) using regular questionnaires and tracking health over time. It may help researchers understand how the condition progresses and improve care for people with these gene mutations.
This trial tests whether a simple blood test or tumor tissue test can help identify Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises the risk of colorectal cancer, in people who already have colon cancer. If you are eligible, the study will compare different screening methods to see which work best in Vietnam.
This study looks at the genetics and health of people with Lynch syndrome, a condition that raises the risk for certain cancers. Researchers want to learn more about how different genetic changes affect health over time.
This study tests a special CAD-EYE system to help detect abnormal (potentially cancer-related) growths during colonoscopy in people with Lynch syndrome. It may improve how reliably clinicians find lesions early, when treatment can be easier.
