Liquid biopsy test for Lynch syndrome cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a simple blood test to measure tumor DNA in people with Lynch syndrome who have been newly diagnosed with cancer but haven't started treatment yet. It aims to see if this test can help monitor the cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older
- You have been diagnosed with cancer but have not started treatment yet
- You are willing to give extra blood samples for the study

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 study tests whether a simple blood sample from your finger can detect tumor DNA as well as a standard blood draw. It is designed for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and hasn't responded to treatment.
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your own immune cells to try to prevent Lynch syndrome-related cancers. It is for people with Lynch syndrome who have not had most of their colon removed and meet certain health criteria.
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 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 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.
