Testing for Lynch syndrome in colorectal cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had a colonoscopy that showed something suspicious for colorectal cancer.
- A biopsy taken during colonoscopy confirmed adenocarcinoma (a cancer type).
- You are not currently having active bleeding from your stomach or intestines.
- You are not taking blood thinners (like warfarin, apixaban, or aspirin).
- You do not have a history of bleeding problems or trouble controlling bleeding.
- Your colonoscopy was able to reach the beginning of your large intestine (cecum), unless a tumor blocked the way.

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 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.
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.
This trial studies a new stool test that looks for DNA changes linked to Lynch syndrome. It aims to find colorectal cancer early in people with Lynch syndrome, before symptoms start.
This study tests whether a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy) can safely replace some invasive cancer screening procedures for people with Lynch syndrome. It aims to find cancer early with less discomfort.
