Genetic variation in genes for the xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes CYP1A1, EPHX1, GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 and susceptibility to colorectal cancer in Lynch syndrome. [PDF]
Individuals with Lynch syndrome are predisposed to cancer due to an inherited DNA mismatch repair gene mutation. However, there is significant variability observed in disease expression likely due to the influence of other environmental, lifestyle, or ...

Distinct gene expression signatures in lynch syndrome and familial colorectal cancer type x. [PDF]
Heredity is estimated to cause at least 20% of colorectal cancer. The hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer subset is divided into Lynch syndrome and familial colorectal cancer type X (FCCTX) based on presence of mismatch repair (MMR) gene defects.We

Patient‐Reported‐Outcome‐Measures (PROMs) After Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Resections
ABSTRACT Background Data on patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) of patients undergoing endoscopic resections have been sparse. The aim of our study was the prospective assessment of the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) as a baseline and post‐endoscopic resection (ER) measurement in patients with epithelial mucosal neoplasms ...
