Metachronous colorectal cancer risk for mismatch repair gene mutation carriers: the advantage of more extensive colon surgery Gut - abstract (Lynch Syndrome)
Define: metachronous: Multiple separate occurrences, such as multiple primary cancers developing at intervals.
Conclusions: Patients with Lynch syndrome with first colon cancer treated with more extensive colonic resection have a lower risk of metachronous CRC than those receiving less extensive surgery. This finding will better inform decision-making about the extent of primary surgical resection.
