    Role of the Clinical Pathology Laboratory

    in the Evaluation of Lynch

    Syndrome-related Gynecological Cancers

    Presented by:

    Russell R. Broaddus, MD, PhD - University of Texas

    MD Anderson Cancer Clinic 

    JUNE 4: Gynecological Manifestations in Lynch Syndrome

    Webinar Series Overview

    MAY 7: Gastrointestinal Manifestations in Lynch Syndrome

    MARCH 5: Defining Lynch Syndrome

     

    Lynch Syndrome increases the lifetime risk of endometrial cancer to 25% - 60% and

    ovarian cancer to 4 - 12%. Approximately 30% of Lynch Syndrome related ovarian cancers are diagnosed before 40 years of age. While the importance of proper surveillance, chemoprevention, and risk-reducing surgeries are well known when constructing an appropriate care plan, often overlooked is the critical role of the clinical pathology laboratory in the evaluation of Lynch Syndrome-related gynecological cancers. 

     

    The “Gynecological Pathology in Lynch Syndrome” webinar will be a source of information

    for primary care physicians, surgeons, gastroenterologists, genetic counselors, and nurses and will include education on the following topics: 

     

    • Immunohistochemistry for Mismatch Repair Proteins

    • Microsatellite Instability Analysis

    • MLH1 Promoter Methylation Analysis

    • Pitfalls in Test Interpretation

    • Discrepancies between Tissue Testing and Genetic Testing

    • Approaches to Screening for Lynch Syndrome-related Gynecological Cancers

    • Pathological features of Lynch Syndrome-related Gynecological Cancers

    • Implications of Pathology Reports as it Relates to Gynecological Prophylaxis 

     

    Learning Outcomes

     

    At the conclusion of this webinar, medical professionals will be able to:

     

    • Communicate how pathology impacts the care plan for Lynch Syndrome. 

    • Summarize the pitfalls in test interpretation. 

    • Give examples of discrepancies between tissue testing and genetic testing.
