The gynecological surveillance of women with Lynch syndrome in Sweden.
(2015) In Gynecologic Oncology 138(3). p.717-722- Abstract
- Women with Lynch syndrome (LS) have up to a 60% lifetime risk of endometrial cancer (EC) and up to a 24% risk of ovarian cancer (OC). Gynecological surveillance is recommended, but the benefit and how it should be performed remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess diagnostic modalities for gynecological screening of LS patients in Sweden and clinical outcome.
