Estimating Cancer Risk in Lynch Syndrome Historically, most cancer risks are estimated from families with a strong family history of early-onset cancers Issues: - Overestimation of age-specific cumulative risk - Incomplete testing of full pedigree - Analyses based on observed genotype lack power
Redefining Cancer Risk in Lynch syndrome Recent reports employ new analytical tools Modified Segregation Analysis Corrects for ascertainment and overestimation of penetrance Accounts for genotyped and ungenotyped relatives Likelihood for each pedigree conditioned on the phenotype of the pedigree, the probands age of diagnosis and gene mutation carrier status

Breast Cancer: Is it part of the Lynch Syndrome spectrum? Controversial as to whether it is associated Most studies have been limited small numbers, retrospective design, ascertainment bias Evaluation of MMR deficiency in tumors has been included to the epidemiologic approach MSI/IHC are very rare in sporadic breast cancer (0-3%) but observed in >50% of cases diagnosed in MMR carriers
Research Article. Breast Cancer Research 2013; 15:R27 Risk of breast cancer in LS: a systematic review Risk of Breast Cancer in Lynch syndrome: a systematic review Aung Ko Win, Noralane M. Lindor, Mark A. Jenkins Molecular studies reporting on MSI/IHC (n=15) Risk studies including confirmed MMR gene mutation carriers or clinically/pathologically defined families (n=21) Results: 13/21 of risk studies did not observe association 8/21 found increased risk of breast cancer ranging from 2- to 18-fold compared with the general population (or non-carriers); only one prospective study: SIR: 3.95, 95% CI:1.59, 8.13 62/122 (51%; 95% CI 42-60%) tumors in carriers were MMR-deficient
Risk Estimates of breast cancer in Lynch syndrome Increased risk in MLH1 (18%) Overall risk: 14% MLH1: 17%; MSH2: 14.4%; MSH6: 11% Risk increased after 40 years.

Molecular testing of all LS-associated breast cancers in the Hereditary CRC Registry of Finland MMR mutation carriers (n=23) Non-carriers from MMR+ positive families (n=18) Sporadic breast cancers (n=49)
Breast cancer and Lynch syndrome MMR deficiency only detected in the MMR+ carriers 13/20 (66%) with loss of IHC; 18/23 (35%) exhibited MSI Heterogeneity in MMR activity by gene Abnormal IHC: 100% MLH1, 73% MSH2, 33% MSH6 MSI-H: 60% MLH1, 45% MSH2, 0% MSH6 Age at diagnosis Most carriers developed breast cancer >50 years No difference between groups (56 years vs 54 years)
Breast cancer and Lynch syndrome Screening recommendations should not deviate from those in the general population Are population-based breast cancer screening programs adequate for mutation carriers Large, prospective studies with long-term follow-up are needed

Cancers of the Urinary Tract Risk of urothelial cancers of upper urinary tract: 5-20% Highest risk in male carriers MSH2 gene mutation carriers Prognosis depends on stage and grade of tumors: 5-year survival of non-invasive, low grade cancers: >90% 5-year survival of high grade cancers: 60 70% Recent studies also demonstrate an increased risk of bladder cancer

Screening for Urinary Tract Cancers No consensus on how best to screen Options for urinary tract cancer screening: Urinalysis Urine cytology Abdominal ultrasound Cystoscopy is the gold standard for bladder cancer detection high sensitivity and positive predictive value not considered appropriate for screening in the general population or high risk groups due to its cost, procedural nature, and risks
Familial Cancer 2008; 4:303 307 Screening for Urinary Tract Cancers Screening for urinary tract cancer with urine cytology in Lynch syndrome and familial colorectal cancer T. Myrhoj, M. B. Andersen, I. Bernstein 977 patients had 1868 screening procedures 3213 person years (median 2.8 years, range 0 11.5) 14/977 (1.4%) patients developed a urinary cancer: 11 bladder cancers, 3 renal pelvis tumors with invasion 5/14 tumors were interval cancers 11/14 tumors were diagnosed in MSH2 families Urine cytology: Sensitivity of 29%, Specificity of 96% 2 procedures (0.1%) diagnosed asymptomatic tumor 22 subjects had false positive screening diagnosis
Screening for Urinary Tract Cancers Urine cytology is not an effective screening method for urinary tract cancer Unknown if there is benefit of surveillance in subgroups of families (eg, those with the MSH2 mutation). Screening for urinary tract cancer in Lynch syndrome varies NCCN: Consider annual UA at 25-30 years Mallorca group: Consider in research setting USMSTF: Consider annual UA at 30-35 years

Gastroenterol 2010; 138:487-92.
Cancer of the Small Bowel in Lynch Syndrome Risk of small bowel cancer in carriers ~5% For MLH1 or MSH2 gene mutation carriers, rare in MSH6 Tumors locations mainly: proximal small bowel (43%), jejunum (33%), ileum (7%) Screening for small bowel cancer is not recommended in Lynch syndrome As locations are frequently in duodenum and ileum, close inspection of the distal duodenum during EGD and ileum during colonoscopy is appropriate
