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.
Who can take part

- You need to be a patient at Nîmes University Hospital.
- You must give your permission to be in the study.

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.
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 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 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 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.
