Abstract:
Lynch syndrome (LS) is a common hereditary tumor syndrome. Gynecological malignancy is usually the first tumor of LS in women, and endometrial cancer (EC) is the most closely associated with LS. Most patients with LS are unaware of this risk, and it is possible to cause misdiagnosis. Thus, early diagnosis helps patients to start tumor surveillance timely, as well as a cascade of family surveillance. This paper reviews the progress of LS associated with EC.
