Using a multistep approach with multidisciplinary team to increase the diagnosis rate of Lynch syndrome-associated colorectal cancer after universal screening: a single-center study in Japan

MA is an appropriate LS screening protocol for Japanese patients who lag behind in medical and human genetics education.PMID:37460934 | DOI:10.1186/s13053-023-00258-0
