Lynch syndrome, or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, is a hereditary cancer syndrome characterized by an increased risk of colorectal cancer, as well as other types of cancer, and is caused by mutations in genes involved in DNA mismatch repair. Individuals with Lynch syndrome have a significantly increased risk of developing colorectal cancer at an earlier age compared to the general population. Colorectal cancer may occur in the 20s or 30s, although the average age of onset is around 45 years. Lynch syndrome is associated with an increased risk of other cancers, including endometrial, ovarian, stomach, small intestine, urinary tract, pancreatic, and bile duct. Individuals with Lynch syndrome is typically have a strong family history of cancer, particularly colorectal and endometrial cancer, across multiple generations. Individuals with Lynch syndrome require regular cancer surveillance and management to detect cancers at an early, more treatable stage.
