Metachronous colorectal cancer risks after extended or segmental resection in MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6Lynch syndrome: multicentre study from the Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database

According to the European Hereditary Tumour Group’s latest position report, LS is now considered an umbrella term for four distinct types of LS: MLH1 syndrome, MSH2syndrome, MSH6 syndrome, and PMS2 syndrome. These syndromes vary with regard to the age of onset of the associated cancers, sex predominance, and cancer incidence rates.
