You suspect Lynch syndrome. He asks if he should undergo total colectomy as opposed to segmental colectomy. How do you approach such a patient?  Join Dr. Carole Richard, Dr. François Dagbert and Dr. Maher Al Khaldi in their conversation about Lynch syndrome, also known as Hereditary Non-polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC).  Learning objectives  -       To understand the rationale for universal testing for MMR deficiency of newly diagnosed colorectal cancers.  -       To know when to recommend screening for CRC for patients with LS and to those who have undergone resection   -       To understand the prevalence of cancers other than CRCs associated with Lynch syndrome, especially endometrial cancer.  Please visit behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.
