Finding skin tumors in Lynch syndrome patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks for Muir-Torre syndrome, a condition that causes certain skin tumors, in people who already have Lynch syndrome. It may help doctors understand how common this skin condition is in Lynch syndrome patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You need to be a patient at Nîmes University Hospital.
- You must give your permission to be in the study.
- You must have health insurance through the French social security system.

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 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.
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 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 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 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.
