Lynch syndrome testing for endometrial cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at a simple way to test for Lynch syndrome in people with endometrial cancer. Lynch syndrome is an inherited condition that raises the risk of certain cancers, and finding it early can help you and your family with screening and prevention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have endometrial cancer (cancer in the lining of the uterus) at any stage (I to IV).
- A lab test showed your tumor has a 'mismatch repair deficiency' (dMMR), which can be a sign of Lynch syndrome.
- You have a 'Lynch alert'—this means you or your family have features that suggest Lynch syndrome, like certain cancers at a young age.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You can understand and sign a consent form to join the study.

This study checks tumor samples from people having surgery for colorectal cancer to look for a genetic condition called Lynch syndrome, which can increase the risk of other cancers. Finding it early can help you and your family take steps to protect your health.
This study is testing a new way to check for uterine cancer risk in people with Lynch syndrome. You would collect a vaginal sample yourself at home and fill out a health questionnaire, which may help catch warning signs early.
This study tests whether a menstrual cup can collect cells from the uterus to detect early endometrial cancer in women with Lynch syndrome. If you have Lynch syndrome and are due for a routine biopsy, you may be able to use a menstrual cup instead.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can safely replace some of the more invasive procedures used to monitor people with Lynch syndrome, a condition that increases the risk of certain cancers (especially colorectal and uterine). If the blood test works as well, it could mean fewer colonoscopies and other invasive tests for those with Lynch syndrome.
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 looks at how the immune system interacts with the gut lining in people with Lynch syndrome and those without. It may help us better understand how Lynch syndrome affects the body.
