Lynch syndrome testing in colon cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer (adenocarcinoma type)
- You are having surgery to remove the cancer
- Your tumor tissue can be tested for genetic changes
- You agree to genetic testing and counseling if needed

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 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 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 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 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.
