Menstrual cup for early cancer detection in Lynch syndrome
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a menstrual cup can collect cells from the uterus to detect early endometrial cancer in women with Lynch syndrome. If you have Lynch syndrome and are due for a routine biopsy, you may be able to use a menstrual cup instead.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and still having periods.
- You have Lynch syndrome (a genetic condition that increases cancer risk).
- You are scheduled for a routine endometrial biopsy (a sample of your uterine lining).
- You do not have a levonorgestrel IUD (like Mirena) in place or removed in the last 30 days.
- You have never had endometrial ablation or endometrial cancer.
- You are not allergic to silicone (the menstrual cup material).

This study is testing a new way to check for uterine cancer risk in people with Lynch syndrome. You would collect a vaginal sample yourself at home and fill out a health questionnaire, which may help catch warning signs early.
This study looks at a simple way to test for Lynch syndrome in people with endometrial cancer. Lynch syndrome is an inherited condition that raises the risk of certain cancers, and finding it early can help you and your family with screening and prevention.
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 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 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 a urine test to see if it can find bladder cancer early in people with Lynch syndrome. If you have Lynch syndrome and are between 50 and 75, this screening could help catch cancer before it causes symptoms.
