Hints from a tumor that someone may have Lynch syndrome:
🔹Microsatellite instability (16% of all patients with MSI-H tumors have LS)
🔹Absence of an MMR protein on IHC (with MLH1 promoter hypermethylation ruled out if MLH1 is absent)
🔹High Tumor Mutation Burden (>10 Mut/Mb)

Having benefited from excellent mentors over the course of her career, a physician concludes that a true mentor is someone who has more imagination about you than you have about yourself. Read the full Perspective: nej.md/3SDFcPf

For #LynchSyndromeAwarenessDay this is your reminder that:

💠 Lynch syndrome is actionable (increased surveillance/prevention options lead to better outcomes)
💠 Lynch syndrome is underdiagnosed (most people are not aware that they

If you have a FDR with an advanced colon polyp, such as:
🍄Adenomas >=1cm, or with villous features or high-grade dysplasia,
🍄Sessile serrated polyps >=1cm, or with any grade of cytologic dysplasia, or
🍄Traditional serrated adenomas, any size
You need to have colonoscopy
