    Gastrointestinal Manifestations in Lynch

    Syndrome

    Presented by: 

    Fay Kastrinos, MD - New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University

    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 a colon cancer to 52% - 82% and accounts for 3-5% of all colon cancer. Quality care of patients includes expertise in the surveillance, risk-reducing surgery, surgical treatment, and  chemotherapy. Understanding which surgical option is appropriate (subtotal versus total colectomy) is a complex decision to make and will forever affect the patient’s quality of life. 

     

    This webinar will be a source of information for primary care physicians, gastroenterologists, surgeons, genetic counselors, and nurses, and will include education on the following topics:

     

    • Chemoprevention – aspirin data

    • Surveillance

    Colonoscopy Information

    Best Practices

    Frequency

    Age to Start

    Data on Efficacy 

    Second Pass Scope Findings

    • Risk-Reducing Surgery (at the time of any colorectal cancer diagnosis)

    Subtotal Colectomy vs Total Colectomy + Ileorectal anastomosis

     

    Learning Outcomes

     

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

     

    • Develop immediate and long-term care plans for patients, specifically as they pertain to the surveillance of gastrointestinal manifestations of lynch syndrome.

    • Define current gastrointestinal risk-reducing surgical and chemoprevention options.

    • Select the best surgical option for their patients.

    • Develop post-surgical care plans for their patients.
