LYNCH SYNDROME

This study tests whether a swallowable capsule camera (colon capsule endoscopy) can effectively screen for colorectal cancer in people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that greatly increases cancer risk. Researchers will compare the capsule's ability to find polyps and ot…

This study tests whether annual liquid biopsies (from blood, urine, stool, and vaginal swabs) can safely replace colonoscopies every 18 months for people with Lynch syndrome. 2,000 participants will be split into two groups: one gets standard care (colonoscopy every 18 months), t…

This study compares a new DNA sequencing platform (MGI) against the current standard (Illumina) for diagnosing hereditary cancers like breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and intestinal polyposis. Researchers will analyze 248 patient samples using both platforms to see if …

This phase III trial tests whether a vaccine made from a person's own immune cells can prevent cancer in 372 adults with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises cancer risk. Participants receive either the vaccine or a placebo and are monitored for tumor development. The …

This early-phase trial tests a personalized vaccine made from a person's own immune cells (dendritic cells) loaded with cancer-specific markers. The goal is to train the immune system to recognize and destroy precancerous cells in people with Lynch syndrome, who have a high risk …

This study tests an online tool called 'Let's Talk' designed to help people with Lynch syndrome encourage their relatives to get screened for the condition. Lynch syndrome is a genetic disorder that raises cancer risk, and only about half of close relatives currently get tested. …

This study will check if people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises cancer risk, have more gum disease than the general population. Researchers will look at dental records from 25 adults with Lynch syndrome. The goal is to see if gum disease is a hidden health is…

This study tests a web-based program called Kindred that helps African American families understand their genetic cancer risk and talk about testing. About 150 people will use the tool to see if it improves knowledge and testing rates. The goal is to make genetic information more…

This study tests a program to help people with inherited cancer gene mutations (like BRCA or Lynch syndrome) stick to recommended cancer screening schedules. Researchers will interview 80 female participants and provide standard care to see if this approach improves adherence and…
