Living at genetic risk: The patient experience of Lynch syndrome

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Lynch syndrome is a germline cancer predisposition syndrome caused by a variant in one of four genes. Lynch syndrome places individuals at significantly higher risk for a range of cancers, especially colorectal and endometrial. Depending on which gene is affected, the risk of ovarian, gastric, small bowel, pancreatic, biliary urothelial, brain,

A multilevel perspective on MSH6‐associated Lynch syndrome: Integrating molecular, biological, and clinical insights

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, caused by a germline pathogenic variant in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Among these, MSH6‐associated LS represents a distinct subtype with unique molecular and clinical characteristics.

Artificial Intelligence in Colonoscopy Surveillance for Lynch Syndrome: Emerging Evidence, Lessons Learned From Average‐Risk Populations, and Future Directions

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC) syndrome and is characterized by an accelerated adenoma‐carcinoma sequence, a relatively higher prevalence of flat and subtle CRC precursor lesions, and exceptionally high adenoma miss rates despite intensive colonoscopy surveillance.

Derivation and Validation of a Predictive Model for Advanced Colorectal Neoplasia Among Average‐Risk Adults in China

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Efficient pre‐colonoscopy risk stratification tools are needed, especially in China. Using multicenter colorectal cancer screening data from Shandong Province, the authors developed and validated a risk prediction model for advanced colorectal neoplasia in asymptomatic individuals using sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and medical ...

Variant‐Specific Landscape of Mutual Exclusivity Among BRAF, EGFR, and KRAS Oncogenes Reveals Overlap With Functionally Antagonistic Mutant Pairs

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Mutual exclusivity and co‐occurrence of oncogenic mutations reflect functional antagonism or dependence and may inform therapeutic strategies. However, most studies overlook variant‐level patterns. In this comprehensive, cross‐cohort analysis of BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR mutation subtypes, the most significant mutual exclusivity pairs overlapped with ...

Rising Incidence and Mortality of Colorectal Cancer Among Younger Adults: A Population‐Based Study in Taiwan, 1994–2018

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality have increased in the Asia‐Pacific region over the past three decades. This population‐based study in Taiwan suggests a shift of the colorectal cancer burden towards the younger generations. An age–period–cohort model revealed higher annual increases in incidence (3.58%) and mortality (1.0%) rates among ...

Can the Parallel or Tandem Combination of Questionnaire‐Based Risk Assessment and Fecal Immunochemical Test Improve the Efficiency of Colorectal Cancer Screening?

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Colorectal cancer screening reduces disease burden, but the comparative performance of screening strategies remains unclear. This population‐based study shows that the tandem strategy (positive results from both questionnaire‐based risk assessment and fecal immunochemical testing) substantially improved the detection rates of colorectal cancer and ...

Colorectal Cancer Screening in Hereditary and Familial High‐Risk Populations: Best Practices and Future Directions

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer‐related morbidity and mortality worldwide yet is largely preventable through effective screening and surveillance. While most CRC cases are sporadic, a substantial proportion occur in individuals at increased risk due to hereditary cancer syndromes or family history who require tailored

Epigenetic Dysregulation of Somatostatin Receptors (SSTR) 1–5 and Therapeutic Implications in Neuroendocrine and Non‐Neuroendocrine Malignancies

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) mediate the antiproliferative, antisecretory, and proapoptotic effects of somatostatin and its synthetic analogs. Their surface expression on neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cells is required for somatostatin analog therapy and radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT).

Evaluation of Mutation Risk Using Patient‐Derived Organoids in Patients With Lynch Syndrome

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lynch syndrome (LS) is a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germline mutation of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes, most notably associated with colorectal cancer. Although LS patients face high risk of CRC, risk can vary even among those with the same pathogenic MMR germline mutations. We suggest a functional assay platform for
