- Current Lynch syndrome guidelines for managing gynecologic risks are vague and often left to a clinician’s discretion.
- Among 115 patients with intact uterus and/or ovaries upon Lynch diagnosis, 71 (61.8 %) underwent risk-reducing surgery.
- Older age, lower education, completed childbearing, and history of non-gyn cancer were associated with having surgery.
- Patients felt anxiety and frustration with the lack of provider knowledge and support to manage gynecologic cancer risks.
