In 1997, the National Cancer Institute published a set of recommendations called the Bethesda guidelines for the identification of individuals who should receive genetic testing for Lynch syndrome related tumors. [6] The NCI revisited and revised these criteria in 2004. [7] The Revised Bethesda Guidelines are as follows:
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is a hereditary predisposition to colon cancer.. HNPCC includes (and was once synonymous with) [1] Lynch syndrome, an autosomal dominant genetic condition that is associated with a high risk of colon cancer, endometrial cancer (second most common), ovary, stomach, small intestine, hepatobiliary tract, upper urinary tract, brain, and skin. [2]
MSI is a good marker for detecting Lynch syndrome and determining a prognosis for cancer treatments. In 1996, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) hosted an international workshop on Lynch Syndrome, which led to the development of the "Bethesda Guidelines" and loci for MSI testing.
Muir–Torre syndrome is a rare hereditary, autosomal dominant cancer syndrome [1]: 663 that is thought to be a subtype of HNPCC (Lynch syndrome). Individuals are prone to develop cancers of the colon, genitourinary tract, and skin lesions, such as keratoacanthomas and sebaceous tumors .
The diagnosis of Lynch syndrome is made by looking for specific genetic mutations in genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. [17] Immunohistochemical testing can also be used to guide treatment and assist in determining the prognosis. Certain markers isolated from the tumor can indicate specific cancer types or susceptibility to different treatments ...
