Survival by colon cancer stage and screening interval in Lynch syndrome: a prospective Lynch syndrome database report

ConclusionsInpath_MLH1 andpath_MSH2 carriers, more advanced colon cancer stage was associated with poorer survival, whereas time since previous colonoscopy was not. Although the numbers are limited, together with our previously reported findings, these results may be in conflict with the view that follow-up ofpath_MMR variant carriers with colonoscopy intervals of less than 3  years provides significant benefit.
